Strange warning about gettext version #3

Closed jnavila closed 3 years ago

jnavila commented 3 years ago

I'm running git-po-helper on a debian testing (gettext version 0.21) and getting the following warning:

WARNING cannot find gettext 0.14, and won't run gettext backward compatible test

Does it mean that my version of gettext is too advanced and that some "backward compatible" tests cannot be run? Or is it a "bug" about the detection of a version at least v0.14?

Can I do anything to fix/remove this warning?

This warning message has been updated for disambiguation as follows:

cannot find gettext 0.14 or 0.15, and won't run backward compatible test on old version of gettext.

See the following link for the reason of introducing old version of gettext for test: https://lore.kernel.org/git/874l8rwrh2.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/

You can install gettext 0.14 in /opt/gettext/0.14.x or run git-po-helper --no-gettext-back-compatible, or just ignore this warning message.
