Bugzilla Bug 42753

There have been two new releases since the 1.2.3 version what is portage at the
moment.

PS. Would it be possible to move poedit from dev-util to app-i18n (or
app-editors), because poedit is a gettext catalog editor.

This is a simple version bump.

I second that. There are dev-util/poedit and app-text/gtranslator even thought
they do exactly same thing. app-i18n sounds like most logical group for both of
them to me, but app-text is more appropriate than dev-util -- I certainly
didn't mean poEdit for developers, they are well capable of editing .po file in
Vim ;)

There's a >=db-3 in DEPEND:
DEPEND=">=x11-libs/wxGTK-2.3.4
        >=sys-libs/db-3

but there are some problems with it...
Firstly: libdb support is optional (it only adds extra features, because poedit compiles fine without it)
Secondly: poedit works only with db-3.* (not with db-4)
So >=db-3 should be changed to =db-3.* or to add some weird IUSE flag...

Oh.. i forgot to mention that this "Extra feature" is "Support for translation
memory"

Could we still have a version bump, because the reason that I found out that
Poedit was outdated was that 1.2.3 crashed on my machine (I suspected wxGTK
incompatibilities)

I just emerget 1.2.5 ant this version and 1.2.3 too 
does segmentation foult when i select Help->About

bash-2.05b$ poedit 
Segmentation fault

This "extra feature" is rather important translation memory -- without it, the program is severely crippled. So the dependency is more than justified.

This is not true. poEdit checks for db4 since 1.1.10 and works with API incompatible db4 version 4.1.25 since 1.2.3 -- have a look at the NEWS file.  If you are having some problems with db4, you should have reported them to me so that they could be fixed. I don't remember you filing bug report in poedit's tracker or writing about it to poedit-users.

Today I've tried doing a version bump to 1.2.5 and it worked ok. The only
problem is that it didn't recognize db4 (I have 4.1.25 installed).

Created an attachment (id=35063) [edit]
poedit-1.2.5.ebuild

This is an ebuild that worked fine for me (from bugs #56502 which was marked as
a  dupe of this one)

Created an attachment (id=35423) [edit]
poedit-1.2.5-db4-compilation.patch

Turns out that poEdit really couldn't detect db4 *if it was built with
versioned symbols* (as Gentoo does). If you apply attached patch (which will be
part of poedit-1.2.6) to poedit-1.2.5 sources, then it will compile against any
libdb >= 3 currently in Portage.

reassigning

Added to portage and moved to category app-i18n. Thanks for the patch, Vaclav.
