Changing these in a few Because Trevor changed all ports which previously depended on gettext to depend upon getext-old and nobody cared to check if it works with the new one or not. > places seems to make it build OK and doesn't conflict with the other > ports that I have installed in my tree that want the new version > (unless I'm just being stupid, and should force the old version to > install). The only reason why you should use the old one is: both gettext ports conflict with each other and as long as you have a lot dependencies on the old one you can't use the new one. If it works for you, go ahead and use it. I think most of the ports committers wait for an official "this is the way to go" statement from gettext-involved persons.
