sthen@ has pointed out alternative approaches: We can just add a general BUILD_DEPENDS on gettext-tools to the gettext module. Also, if we do the split with two separate ports devel/gettext (runtime) devel/gettext-tools there will be no pkgpath change and no need to bump all dependent ports. I'm investigating this now. For the build, this wouldn't make much difference since the unified build is really "configure runtime; configure tools; build runtime; build tools". There are just some details to take care of... -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [email protected]
