Description Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2018-02-15 20:54:13 UTC

Description of problem:
Without gettext, various meson targets defined by the i18n module will fail. Users of meson should not have to care that a meson module uses various executables from a different package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
meson-0.44.0-1.fc27.noarch

Comment 1 Igor Gnatenko 2018-02-15 20:56:23 UTC

Actually, there is some work going in upstream to show proper error message..

But adding dependency on gettext sounds really incorrect to me.

Comment 2 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2018-02-15 21:28:21 UTC

But why? Is the package functional without it? (Whether a message is printed or not, is irrelevant.)
