Subject: Bug#453103: gettext-el: po-mode.el+emacs-snapshot !! The file uses
    old-style backquotes !!

Package: gettext-el
Version: 0.17-1
Severity: wishlist

Hola, Santiago, 

Filing as wishlist because emacs-snapshot is not in the archive,

--------
Configuring gettext-el (0.17-1) ...
install/gettext: Byte-compiling for emacs-snapshot

In toplevel form:
po-mode.el:95:1:Warning: !! The file uses old-style backquotes !!
This functionality has been obsolete for more than 10 years already
and will be removed soon.  See (elisp)Backquote in the manual.
Wrote /usr/share/emacs-snapshot/site-lisp/gettext/po-mode.elc
Wrote /usr/share/emacs-snapshot/site-lisp/gettext/po-compat.elc
--------

Note that new format is the default since emacs 19.29, a while ago.
I am not a lisp guru, but expect attached patch to take care of this.

Although this does not affect emacs21, emacs22 or xemacs may be good to
consider it and/or forwarding it upstream.

Versions of packages gettext-el depends on:
ii  emacs-snapshot [emacsen]    1:20071119-1 The GNU Emacs editor (development 
ii  emacs-snapshot-nox [emacsen 1:20071119-1 The GNU Emacs editor (without X su
gettext-el recommends no packages.
