Subject: | [gentoo-dev] LINGUAS to be removed from USE_EXPAND |
Date: | Thu, 28 Dec 2017 17:17:54 |

1 | Last year we had announced introduction of a new L10N variable |
2 | intended to replace LINGUAS as a USE_EXPAND variable [1]. Since then, |
3 | many packages have been converted to the new variable. |
4 | |
5 | The next step in the conversion will be removal of LINGUAS from |
6 | USE_EXPAND, which means that LINGUAS will become a normal variable, |
7 | maintaining the standard gettext behaviour. For a transition time, |
8 | all linguas_* flags currently existing in packages' IUSE will be |
9 | added to use.desc, but will be removed again when conversion of the |
10 | remaining packages is complete. |
11 | |
12 | The plan is to remove LINGUAS from USE_EXPAND in one week from now. |
13 | Please speak up if you think this would cause issues for your |
14 | packages. A test run using CI [2] was done by mgorny, and it hasn't |
15 | shown any problems. |
16 | |
17 | I also assume that the permission for fixing packages [3] still holds. |
