If you have gettext installed, you don't need gettext.m4 either... And I think GETTEXT_VERSION is only interesting to autopoint, but I may be wrong about this. (This info is from the manual, too.)

Even I recognized that now. ;) A few quotes from the devs: ------ > apparently to download the sourcecode, even if the correct version of > gettext is installed. This use of cvs downloads nothing; it only extracts the right version of the gettext infrastructure from an archive (installed in $prefix/share/gettext/archive.tar.gz). > Maybe you want to check for cvs only when the installed gettext version > is not sufficient. This is not worth the coding and testing effort, IMO. Just install cvs. How did you "deploy" this change to your fellow developers? Not through cvs? What other version control system are you using? ------ Apparently they didn't even think of the problem that someone could be not using CVS... > I also would consider > changing the po/Makefile.in.in to not touch po files unless explicitly > requested to do so. For me, po files are never automatically updated... I wonder what you mean. --Dennis
