Description Christian Rose 2003-08-23 12:00:18 UTC 
I notice that current Rawhide uses gettext-0.11.5-2.

The latest version of gettext is 0.12.1 though, and it would be much beneficial
if Red Hat Linux could use a gettext version >= 0.12. The 0.12 and later
versions adds support for UTF-8 in translatable messages, which is increasingly
needed in the GNOME project (see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99005).

I thus suggest RHL use the latest gettext version, 0.12.1.

I second this. Tried building gtk-gnutella today and it failed because of this.
Also intltool-update seems to barf when used with gettext in rawhide because of
the same issue.

Testing 0.12 this week and will be include to rawhide once finished.

See also bug 104596.

Why gettext 0.12 and not 0.12.1, btw?
Comment 5 Leon Ho 2003-09-19 05:23:04 UTC 
yes i meant 0.12.1 :) 
gettext-0.12.1-1 is built. It should be in rawhide once the system is refreshed
