I have a TODO item that involves me learning all about gettext and how to do it properly. Until I get around to that, I know nothing about gettext.

Like automake generating a COPYING file with the GPL in it, this is a possible viral infection that some authors might not want. As I stated above, I don't know how the gettext bits fit together, so I don't know how this file influences things. From some quick research, that FSF copyright is the default one unless one is specified when using xgettext. > > I also prevent autopoint to run with > > wrong version of his needed file (m4 & po/*). > > eh ? i dont really understand what you mean ... but now that you > mention it, doing `rm -f m4` certainly wont work as m4 is a directory Deleting the m4 directory is not a good option, some non gettext things have their own macros in m4. > > automake-1.10 complain about a missing file (config.rpath) that he > > don't provide and it prevent it from ending cleanly and so that is > > why a said building with automake-1.10.

I highly recommend that any use of autopoint -f comes with lots of additions to .cvsignore files to ignore all those generated files, and that the copyright issue is taken care of. For my own module, also on my TODO list is to learn how to do the rest of autofoo properly, then update my module to suit. Only after I have done that will I bother to clean up the autofoo in the "e_modules maintainers maintained" modules. Others may feel free to fix the autofoo and gettext stuff.
