retitle 1101483 please package gettext 0.24, 0.25, 0.26, 1.0 or later version thanks
With version 1.0 of gettext release out now, and still somewhat early in the debian forky release cycle, couldn't we upload gettext 1.0 -- at least to experimental -- and start working on reporting and documenting the problems in packages not working with modern gettext? What is holding up things here? This bug report could be blocked on those bugs, to make things more transparent here. I suggest that even if there are 40 RC bugs due to packages not working with gettext 1.0, we should get those reported and start to nudge maintainers to fix things. It isn't unreasonable to have gettext 1.0 as a forky release goal IMHO. Are there any known important packages that for some reason cannot easily be made to work with gettext 1.0? For some very obscure package failing with 1.0, I wonder if maybe dropping translation support from that package isn't better than keeping the rest of Debian stuck on ancient gettext versions. /Simon
