Bug 314953 – dev-util/intltool must have sys-devel/gettext in RDEPEND

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jeremy Guitton 2010-04-13 09:52:09 UTC]

The runtime dependancy on sys-devel/gettext is missing from the dev-util/intltool ebuild.

Like you can see here (extract from the intltool-update script):

my $XGETTEXT = $ENV{"XGETTEXT"} || "xgettext";
    my $XGETTEXT_ARGS = $ENV{"XGETTEXT_ARGS"} || '';
    chomp $XGETTEXT;

    if (! isGNUGettextTool ("$XGETTEXT"))
    {
	print STDERR " *** GNU xgettext is not found on this system!\n".
		     " *** Without it, intltool-update can not extract strings.\n";
	exit;
    }

--------

my $MSGMERGE = $ENV{"MSGMERGE"} || "msgmerge";
    my ($lang, $outfile) = @_;

    if (! isGNUGettextTool ("$MSGMERGE"))
    {
	print STDERR " *** GNU msgmerge is not found on this system!\n".
		     " *** Without it, intltool-update can not extract strings.\n";
	exit;
    }

--------

my $MSGFMT = $ENV{"MSGFMT"} || "msgfmt";

    if (! isGNUGettextTool ("$MSGFMT"))
    {
	print STDERR " *** GNU msgfmt is not found on this system!\n".
		     " *** Without it, intltool-update can not extract strings.\n";
	exit;
    }

--------

In this case, packages that use intltool for string translation must just have a DEPEND on dev-util/intltool, sys-devel/gettext is not needed, and should be fixed.

Reproducible: Always
