Hi Jon,

Thanks for taking care of this. I took a look at the changes done here because
of new build failures on rawhide. A few comments:


> -BuildRequires: gettext
> +BuildRequires: gettext-devel

Why is it necessary to change this? It used to build fine with BR: gettext as
it only needs the tools from gettext package for building and doesn't use the
headers that are in -devel.


> -Requires: gettext-devel
> +Requires: gettext

Requiring gettext-devel was a deliberate change in
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=intltool.git;a=commit;h=b5cc8a4b . If
you ever need to find out why some line is the way it is, 'git blame' can help
for history digging.

Packages that used to rely on intltool dragging in gettext-devel are now
failing to build, e.g. gtranslator:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=312458

If you think it's important to depend on gettext instead of gettext-devel, can
you send out a heads up to fedora-devel list that packages will now have to
explicitly BR gettext-devel, instead of relying on intltool dragging it in? I
fear the ARM secondary arch people aren't very happy about new FTBFS failures,
so it's best to try to get package maintainers to fix these early.


> -Obsoletes: xml-i18n-tools
> -Provides: xml-i18n-tools = 0.11
> +#Obsoletes: xml-i18n-tools
> +#Provides: xml-i18n-tools = 0.11

Perhaps remove these lines completely, to avoid cluttering the spec file with
commented out lines? Any changes are permanently recorded in git history, so
it's always possible to revert them at a later date.


Thanks again for taking care of the merge review.
