This reminds me bug #104573: it was the same problem where some |
| 9 |
LINGUAS="fr" users didn't want to have manpages-fr installed. The |
| 10 |
workaround used there was to add the "nls" USE flag. This way you |
| 11 |
separate the "do you want some translations?" question from the |
| 12 |
"what translations do you want?" question. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
But sure, it's more a workaround than an ideal solution. |

It may be a problem if an ebuild relies on the USE flags being |
| 20 |
coherent with the env var itself. I don't have example of such |
| 21 |
ebuilds in mind though, but i guess it could happen that, for |
| 22 |
instance, on one hand the LINGUAS var is used by autotools to |
| 23 |
choose the locales to install, and on the other hand the linguas_* |
| 24 |
flags are used to add some help files or spell dicts: this could |
| 25 |
result in some kind of half-translated apps, maybe even broken |
| 26 |
apps, i don't know... |
