gettext : patch
from archlinux:
Code:
This uses an internal version of libcroco, which has known security issues.
As a consequence, the internal version of libxml2 is also not used
https://github.com/archlinux/svntogi...extstyle.patch
build option:
Code:
--without-included-gettext
note : bison must be rebuild with this patched gettext

Not so sure. Average users depend on Pat's reactivity and for more advanced or concerned users, there're mailing lists and so on...
