Unless this page is out of date L10N USE expansion variable can be set either |
| 46 |
at make.conf, or on a per package basis: |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Localization/Guide#L10N |
| 49 |
|

Meanwhile, I think the equivalent to debian's localepurge corresponds to a |
| 51 |
dual step process in Gentoo. First update your locale as per above page, then |
| 52 |
run 'env-update && source /etc/profile', followed by 'localegen'. Then if you |
| 53 |
have also setup additional localisations in L10N, you need to run emerge with |
| 54 |
option --newuse, or --changeduse to take account per package or global changes |
| 55 |
in the L10N USE settings. |
