--envbJBWh7q8WU6mo Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, as some of may have noticed, I fixed a number of ports that did not use the system wide gettext installation but the one included in the package (if you ask me GNU people should never have started shipping gettext with their source tarballs). I became aware of these issues due to Oliver Eikemeier's ports conflicts email ( http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-ports_2003/msg08919.html = )=20 because the ports using the internal gettext implementation all installed the following files: ${PREFIX}/lib/charset.alias ${PREFIX}/share/locale/locale.alias I have two approaches in mind how one could tackle this problem at its root: 1. Implement a USE_GETTEXT variable (but most often I needed to fix libiconv frist in order to get gettext working). 2. Modify portlint such that it reports an error when either `charset.alias' or `locale.alias' are in the pkg-plist. Comments are very much appreciated.
