Things we plan to do. Comments welcome.
-- Replace bash specific INSTALL with the generic one.
-
- Update lib/ with some files from fetish utils.
- Update other files from libtool-1.3.5 and autoconf-2.13.
- Restore lib/vasprintf.c.
+- Remove the distinction between localedir and gnulocaledir.
+
+- gettextize needs not copy intl/ChangeLog.
+
- Document bash-2.04's $"..." facility and the associated 2 environment
variables.
- Document that gettext requires the LC_MESSAGES category (or LANGUAGE
override) and LC_CTYPE category to be set correctly via setlocale.
-- Make sure put-ABOUT file and Admin/ directories are not distributed.
+- Marc Espie's wishlist:
+ Makefile.in.in that ships with the most recent release
+ of gettext suffers from various defects:
+ - it does not work with separate compilation, as it creates files
+ in $(srcdir) and not in $(buildir). Reading this file, somebody must
+ be confused about what's maintainer-dependent, and what's build-dependent.
+ - it has needless dependencies on gnu-makes, which are trivial to fix.
+ - it has bogus file readability tests, which should be executability tests.
+
+- Make sure Admin/ directory is not distributed.
- Update documentation for plural features and bind_textdomain_codeset.
- Evaluate Francois Pinard's po-utils and xpot. Takeover? Merge? Refer to?
+- Change bug report address to bug-gettext instead of bug-gnu-utils@gnu.org
+
Future:
- Remove support for catgets and Solaris gettext.
