RHEA-2011:0047 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

An enhanced gettext package updated to version 0.17 is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux.

Description

The GNU gettext package provides a set of tools and documentation for producing
multi-lingual messages in programs.

This update adds the following enhancement:

• Since the previous version of gettext no longer works with a large number of

newer software projects, this updated package installs gettext version 0.17,
which allows packages that require modern gettext to build successfully.
(BZ#523713)

Note: The Java and libintl.jar support has been discontinued.

All users of gettext are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which adds
this enhancement.
