It times out on Friday, November 9th. New and updated man pages are in the case's materials directory. This case seeks a patch binding so it will be possible to port this work back into a Solaris 10 update although there are no plans to do so at this time. The updates provided here are fully backwards compatible with version 0.0, so existing applications should not be adversly affected by this update to version 1.0. (For those of you who have been involved in recent cases moving stuff from /usr/sfw into /usr/bin, this case is not related to those cases. This case merely updates the version of GNU gettext() related functions to match current technology. Another related case will be filed soon; there are two cases rather than one because this case delivers changes into the ON consolidation while the other case will deliever changes into the SFW consolidation.)

Project/Component Working Name: More compatibility with GNU gettext in gettext(3c) 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Kenjiro Tsuji 1.3 Date of This Document: 02 November, 2007 2. Project Summary 2.1. Project Description The current Solaris libc supports the GNU gettext feature that was introduced by PSARC/2001/072 [1]. The version number of the supported GNU MO file format is 0.0. The GNU gettext package has been updated to bump the MO version number up to 1.0. This project makes the GNU gettext feature in libc more compatible with the GNU gettext package by supporting version 1.0 of the GNU MO file format. Patch release binding is requested. 3. Technical Description In addition to supporting version 1.0 of the GNU MO file format in the gettext(3c) family of functions in libc, the following items will be also updated: - Adding __GNU_GETTEXT_SUPPORTED_REVISION() macro into /usr/include/libintl.h. This macro is required to tell the GNU packages that the Solaris runtime supports the GNU gettext feature. A new manpage for libintl.h(3HEAD) will be created for this change. - Adding the following two symbols into libc: _nl_msg_cat_cntr _nl_domain_bindings These symbols are also required to tell the GNU packages that the Solaris runtime supports the GNU gettext feature. The gettext(3C) manpage will be updated for this change. Enhancements to make the utilities in the GNU gettext package available on Solaris systems will be handled in a separate PSARC case. 4.
