<div>It may work but your port continues to require the perl version and
intltools perl module dependencies to be explicitly specified and <br></div></span>
you don't get the benefits of any improvements in the current
version of intltool. The reason <a href="http://intltool-merge.in" target="_blank">intltool-merge.in</a> exists in your
tarball is because it is the result of upstream running intltoolize
with an outdated version of intltool (in autogen.sh).<a href="http://intltool-merge.in" target="_blank"> </a><br>
<br>
If you fix the port as Ryan and I have suggested you can remove the
reference to INTLTOOL_PERL and the dependency on p5.22-xml-parser
and just replace<br>
them with a dependency on intltool. Having done this you'll be
completely immune to future changes in perl version because intltool
will handle it<br>
for you and you'll have the additional benefit of any enhancements
that have been made in intltool since upstream last updated intltool
and ran intltoolize on their distribution.<br>
<br>
I really recommend you update your port to use our version of
intltool.<br>

If you're interested in preparing a patch, I'm happy to apply it (or indeed, please feel free to go ahead and apply it) but I wasn't planning to spend the extra ergs on a package that hasn't been updated upstream in 7 years and is working fine -- as measured by successfully building working software on all the buildbots in its current configuration.</div></div></div></div>
