I'd like to see po4a updated, too. The newer upstream release fixed quite a few bugs.

Does it build? Last time I checked, it didn't build, but bombed out with errors.

OK, I found the key issue. The 0.40.1 tarball is missing a file.

Working on it.

Ralf, I am an upstream developer, feel free to ask if you have trouble building po4a.(In reply to comment #3)

Great. I had 2 major issues with po4a:

* The file missing from the 0.40.1 tarball is t/compare-po.pl.
Without it, the testsuite fails misserably.

I grabbed it from your SVN and added it as a patch. I'd recommend you to release a new tarball with this file added.


* I had 2 major issues related to the configuration:
- We install the perl modules into perl's vendor directory.
The common way to achieve this with Module::Build based Build.PL's is to run
perl Build.PL --installdir vendor

- bin/po/Makefile doesn't seem to receive the settings from "Build".
It always wants to install into /usr/local instead of /usr.

I hacked around both issues by editing the Makefiles (using sed):
# Propagate %%{_prefix}
sed -i -e 's,^prefix =.*$,prefix = %{_prefix},' po/bin/Makefile
# vendor dirs
sed -i -e 's,perl Build.PL,perl Build.PL --installdirs vendor,' Makefile

I updated rawhide to 0.40.1. 

The corresponding packages should land in the rawhide repos soon.
