The problem with installing that in /usr/bin is that
(1) .pl extension is to be avoided, and if we obey that rule,
(2) the package would have to conflict with gettext, on which depend
~50 other packages.
dead-end *sigh*
Coincidentaly, I also need the nice xgettext.pl TT support. I use the
following shell function to override the gettext's xgettext:
xgettext() {
perl -w -e 'use Locale::Maketext::Extract::Run qw(xgettext);
xgettext(@ARGV);' -- "$@"
}
I agree this is not very ideal.
How about installing xgettext.pl as /usr/bin/xgettext-lexicon? That
could work, provided someone writes a man page for it :)
