Yearggg... oh bother...
It's been like that for a whilst so I took it as a hint and just updated
8 servers this way...
I *think* I actually have very little need for nls? I believe that
given it's "a server" and given only admins who all speak the same
language will access it, then the only times I need nls are for specific
client applications which need translation? So as near as I can tell I
only need it for certain web applications (PHP, squirrelmail, etc) - can
someone confirm or deny that this is a correct understanding of how nls
actually works out?
The main reason I care is that I have a lot of linux-vservers and it's
obviously helpful to sync USE flags across as many machines as practical
in order to make use of binary packages.
Anyone care to comment on why else I might care to standardise on nls
enabled or disabled for a mail/web server type installation?
It's been very deliberately marked as removed, so I wondered if there
was a history of bugs in gettext which argued for it not to be on by
default?
