A couple of days ago I spent a few hours sorting out the situation
with the AM_NLS macro, which had led gnome-chemistry-utils to FTBFS.
This kind of error should be fixed by gettext 0.25.1.
We are currently running a build to verify that.
Essentially, in the %prep stanza, I added the new aclocal path to the
autoreconf command. There were a couple of other odd issues, i.e. the
path ./m4 getting added to that same command from somewhere and also
the message "autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext" appearing
regardless of the build succeeding or failing.
Anyway, as it is, it should go through the mass rebuild without any issues.
If you do apply any patches, could you please provide a link to any
build failures and/or suggest what might be required to fix things
that break?
So far, out of the 68 failures detected by importing gettext 0.25 into f42 (as a proxy), most of them should be fixed by gettext + autoconf updates.
But there may be a few failures that went under the radar or need special treatment. I should have a better view this afternoon.
Best regards,
A.
