This is the latest stable release from upstream. Patches have been
refreshed, including putting the removal of most pkg-config checks into
the glib-only patch. A few more files, most notably the large NEWS file,
have also been removed from the repo to keep the size of the snapshot
down.
Until the needed surgery is done to remove gettext support from the
internal glib (since pkg-config doesn't need it), make sure that libintl
is linked in when necessary.
We just want to be able to build glib from the within the pkg-config
tree. Everything else is just extra weight and is better used from an
actual glib checkout. Unnecessary files include:
* documentation
* translations
* tests
* ChangeLogs
* non-autotools win32 build files
* various other build and/or internal files
