Hi all,

the Shepherd currently does not build from a clean git repository (on
GuixSD in a shepherd environment), as "autoreconf -ifv" does not create
missing files related to gettext unless the version is specified.

This tiny patch fixes the gettext version and allows bootstrapping to
work from a clean git checkout.

By the way, shouldn't there also be a "./bootstrap" shell script, as is
customary in a lot of projects including Guix?

Cheers,
Florian

Good catch, applied!

FWIW I prefer to just run “autoreconf -vfi”, which is what ‘./bootstrap’
does in Guix.  ‘./bootstrap’ scripts tend to have different semantics
between projects (some run ‘./configure’, some don’t, etc.) so I like to
keep it simple.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
