gnulib and autopoint

[Sylvain Beucler]

Hi,

I'm trying to integrate gettext in my package.


I'm following advice from:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/gettextize-and-autopoint.html

Namely:
"When a script of yours run autopoint, invoke gnulib-tool afterwards."

However, I'm using 'autoreconf' (2.61), which runs 'autopoint', and
needs to be invoked after 'gnulib-tool'.


Currently I'm breaking the egg and killing the chicken by using:

  # Install gettext 0.17 files
  autopoint -f
  # Update gettext files with newer gnulib versions
  gnulib-tool --update -S
  # Rerun the autotools but skip autopoint which would fail
  AUTOPOINT=/bin/true autoreconf -ifs


Is there a nicer way to do the job? :)

Thanks,
