I mean, if I were going to do development on Ubuntu, I'd use Bionic or later. I believe Rolf's daily builds use the source tarball. Those include all generated files.

The gettext version was bumped on 2018-03-16, a year and three months ago. That doesn't seem to have caused any trouble so far ;-) See https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/commit/c8d8f05256523cb0aafe24309ea2b3c93bea20f2 > Can we just require version 0.19.7? 0.19.8 doesn't seem to contain > anything new that would be related to what we're using. IIRC, the bump to 0.19.8 fixed the AM_PROG_MKDIR_P deprecation warning. ... me goes to take a peek ... Yup, the commit after that one syncs the generated stuff and replaces AM_PROG_MKDIR_P with AC_PROG_MKDIR_P in m4/intl.m4 and m4/po.m4. But, yes, the upstream changes for that were made before 0.19.7 and by the looks of it in 0.18.2. All that said, I don't understand why we should drop the version to enable **development** on old versions. For builds, there's a source tarball that has all you need.
