Description of problem: The gettext snapshot tarball for latest rawhide build has been downloaded from: https://gitlab.com/gnu-gettext/ci-distcheck/-/jobs/artifacts/master/raw/gettext-snapshot.tar?job=check-optimized I couldn't find a reference on the gettext savannah project page or GNU project page that confirms that this gitlab project is a verified safe source for gettext snapshots. There's only a reverse reference, i.e. to the savannah page from the gitlab page, which is not sufficient. Desired result: Savannah project page (or the GNU project page) for gettext should endorse the gitlab project as a trusted source from where one could use gettext snapshots. Actual result: No mention of the gitlab gettext project on the savannah gettext project page.
Sorry I should have mentioned the background to all this: with gettext snapshots, glibc builds fail in rawhide because the configure script cannot parse the yyyy-mm-dd version number. If the snapshot source in gitlab is verified as an acceptable upstream source, I can fix up the configure check in upstream glibc to accommodate yyyy-mm-dd version numbers for gettext. Otherwise the gettext version number should be fixed to a compatible version number so that the version checks don't fail.
gettext version has been fixed and built in rawhide https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1931356
I just tested glibc scratch build (Florian had already dropped the workaround patch, I guess he noticed this update before I did) and can confirm that the issue is fixed. Thanks!
Thanks, closing this out.
