Hello,

Sharing this message about upgrading Gettext, with Bruno’s permission (I
believe gettext should be in the scope of the ‘core-packages’ team).

Subject: GNU gettext 0.23.1 is released
Date: Tue, 31 Dec 2024 15:40:33 +0100

Available at
  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.23.1.tar.gz

New in 0.23.1:

* Bug fixes:
  - Building with libxml2 >= 2.12.0 and gcc >= 14 now works.
  - XML: The value of the xml:lang attribute, inserted by msgfmt, is now
    more correct.

There is a new runtime dependency:
  * The Gnulib localizations.
    + Recommended.
      Needed for localization of some of the programs to the user's language.
    + Documentation:
      https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/Localization.html
    + Download:
      https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnulib/gnulib-l10n-*
This is a new package, not yet contained in Guix.
New releases of some other packages (coreutils, diffutils, tar, etc.) will
depend on this package as well.
Pure localization packages have a precedent: The packages icecat-l10n,
icedove-l10n are similar.

According to [1], you are packaging gettext for Guix.
I invite you to upgrade to version 0.23.1.

Best regards,

                Bruno

Thanks!

FWIW, libxml2 is (still) at 2.9.14, also on core-packages-team, and
building with gcc-14.2 just worked on core-packages-team. 

It didn't need updating and I'm trying to avoid scope creep beyond
moving to gcc-14 at this time, esp. an upgrade storm.

We still need to disable test-execute.sh, just like with 0.23

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
                   ;;libgettextlib-0.23.so => not found
                   (substitute* "gettext-tools/gnulib-tests/test-execute.sh"
                     (("^#!.*" all)
                      (string-append all "exit 77;\n")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

so I'm not seeing any difference.  But I guess newer is better and while
we're upgrading...

Okay, I've pushed an upgrade commit 0.23.1 to core-packages-team with
back-to-back a REMOVEME Revert... commit to not trigger a world rebuild
at this time.

Greetings,
Janneke
