I've tried to update gettext in the ports collection, and a problem has turned up. As described to me by Joe Marcus Clarke, portupgrade will fail because ports/devel/gettext (the new version which no ports use yet) is in conflict with ports/devel/gettext-old (the previous version which I set the ports to depend upon). I believe that a line HOLD_PKGS = ['gettext-*'] in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf may prevent portupgrade (but not necessarily portversion) from trying to upgrade gettext. Alternatively, I've prepared a patch which bumps the libintl version and PORTREVISIONs of ports that use gettext, so they depend on the new version. It needs testing and review. It's at <URL:http://people.freebsd.org/~trevor/ports/gettext-dependencies.diff>. The updated gettext port may be temporarily "moved" to gettext-new and ports/devel/gettext returned to version 0.12.1 which we've been using for awhile. Also, the new gettext port ought to be updated to 0.13.1. I've started work on that but I have to leave the computer now. -- Trevor Johnson
