I notice that current Rawhide uses intltool-0.25-3. The latest version of intltool is 0.27.1 though, and it would be much beneficial if Red Hat Linux could use this intltool version. This intltool version among other things adds support for *.lang files, which are needed for full translation of GNOME. This version also adds support for UTF-8 in translatable messages (if gettext supports it; see bug 102958), 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 intltool version, 0.27.1.
This appears to be fixed in beta 2 # rpm -qa intltool intltool-0.27.2-1 This bug should be marked as CURRENTRELEASE
Marking as CURRENTRELEASE doesn't make much sense -- at the time this report was filed, the new intltool version wasn't in the current release, so it was indeed a correct bug report truly reflecting the current status at that time. AFAIK, CURRENTRELEASE is only for misfiled bugs where the problem has already been fixed in a newer version of the stable release but that the reporter didn't use, and the CURRENTRELEASE is hence reserved for advising the reporter to please upgrade to the current release at that time where the problem had already been fixed. The RAWHIDE resolution seems more appropriate and more in line with what Red Hat maintainers have traditionally used when fixing a problem in respone to a bug report, indicating that the report was correct, the problem has been fixed, and that fixed packages are now in Rawhide.
Anyway, it's fixed. ;-)
