When running autopoint from core/gettext it complains



run "autopoint" ...
autopoint: *** cvs program not found
autopoint: *** Stop.

Could cvs be added to the PKGBUILD file of gettext?

gettext version info: pkgver=0.17, pkgrel=2

I'm not comfortable with this. Adding cvs to a base package makes cvs a default installed package, which isn't what 99% of our users want.

From autopoint:
# The requirement that the user must have the CVS program available is not
# a severe restrictions, because most of the people who use autopoint are
# users of CVS.

I think users who use autopoint can be smart enough to install cvs themselves.

optdepends message which would refer to it should fix this or not?

Just add it to gettext as optdepend:

optdepends=('cvs: autopoint tool')

or whatever you like.
