[Nautilus-list] [Fwd: Get gettext 0.10.35 to stop editing po/ChangeLog?]

[Ramiro Estrugo <ramiro fateware com>]

Its been a while since James posted this hack and i finally got sick of
manually fixing the bogus po/ChangeLog change.

So i changed eazel-hacking to include this hack.

To use this wonderful technology:

  update
  eazel-rebuild-modules.sh gettext

-re

I assume that you mean 0.10.36 or 37.  Attached is a patch against
gettext-0.10.37 that will remove all the po/ChangeLog modification code.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to turn off that annoying
behaviour without modifying gettext.
