This reminds me bug #104573: it was the same problem where some LINGUAS="fr" users didn't want to have manpages-fr installed. The workaround used there was to add the "nls" USE flag. This way you separate the "do you want some translations?" question from the "what translations do you want?" question. But sure, it's more a workaround than an ideal solution. > For one, things in USE_EXPAND would need to be negate-able in > package.use. It may be a problem if an ebuild relies on the USE flags being coherent with the env var itself. I don't have example of such ebuilds in mind though, but i guess it could happen that, for instance, on one hand the LINGUAS var is used by autotools to choose the locales to install, and on the other hand the linguas_* flags are used to add some help files or spell dicts: this could result in some kind of half-translated apps, maybe even broken apps, i don't know... -- TGL. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
