How do you figure that? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The current portage behavior works well enough; if linugas_* is in |
| 26 |
IUSE, LINGUAS is treated as a USE_EXPAND, and use-deps should work |
| 27 |
fine. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Otherwise, it is treated just like a normal environment variable, and |
| 30 |
portage doesn't touch it. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
For most gettext packages, there is absolutely no reason that the |
| 33 |
ebuild maintainer should have to keep track of every translation |
| 34 |
available in a given package across version bumps. If you change this |
| 35 |
behavior in a future EAPI, you will break this. |
