By what you have seen, your decision was right. However, instead of making release tarballs, there are now weekly snapshot tarballs [1][2]. And since July 2020, support for producing internationalized releases of m4 has been added back. [3] > But as it seems you do depend on these PO files, what is the plan? When > do you plan to make an internationalized version of m4? I can't say anything about the "when", since I'm not an m4 maintainer. But it looks very much like the next release will contains a POT file and translations (based on what was in the m4-1.4o release many years ago).
