Re: [libvirt] FYI: Getting rid of gettextize cruft

That is not portable; the portable replacement is AS_ECHO_N([message]). Is your bootstrap script still calling autopoint? See line 39 of https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/d0ec0b4c8/bootstrap Also, it looks like libguestfs' boostrap is not synced from gnulib, but hand-rolled. Right now, libvirt is merely relying on gnulib's bootstrap, and gnulib is doing a decent job with calling autopoint (and not gettextize). I just recently fixed gnulib to allow us to continue to use gettext 0.17 (for RHEL 6.2 and RHEL 5), rather than gnulib's attempt to force us to upgrade to 0.18.x, but I guess that does mean that we are stuck with a crusty Makefile.in.in from autopoint that doesn't understand all of the GNU Coding Standards makefile conventions. But you're the first person to mention ripping it all out. Maybe it's worth proposing this upstream with gnulib, because I don't really see a point in making libvirt a one-off special case from the gnulib conventions. -- Eric Blake eblake(a)redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
