Packaging hints for binary package distributors
===============================================

Although the source of the gettext package comes as a single package,
I recommend that in distributions of binary packages the installed files
be split into two packages:

   gettext-runtime
        Contents: Runtime libraries and programs.
        Audience: Anyone who wants to run internationalized programs.

   gettext-tools
        Contents: Tools and documentation for developers and translators.
        Audience: Anyone who wants to develop or localize internationalized
                  programs, i.e. developers and translators.
        Dependencies: requires gettext-runtime.

The 'gettext-runtime' binary package is much smaller than the 'gettext-tools'
binary package (90 KB versus 4 MB). I recommend to include it in the default
installation list, like GNU 'sh-utils'; in fact, the runtime programs are
utilities for sh programs.

The 'gettext-runtime' binary package can be installed by doing

      cd gettext-runtime
      ./configure
      make
      make install

The 'gettext-tools' binary package can be installed by doing

      cd gettext-tools
      ./configure
      make
      make install

If you want to install both at the same time, you simple do at the toplevel
directory:

      ./configure
      make
      make install

The precise split between gettext and gettext-tools is according to the
following file list.
