Subject: [gentoo-dev] Suggestion to stop using 'cjk' USE flag.

1 Hi all
2
3 I suggest that we stop using 'cjk' USE flag, which is to support
4 Chinese/Japanese/Korean, and we add new flags(lang_cn,lang_ja,lang_kr,....,m17n).
5 There are two reasons for this.
6
7 1. USE flag related to countries is only 'cjk' at the moment. But we
8 need other country flag(ex. Russia).
9
10 2. It is impossible to apply 1USE flag among two or more
11 countries because most of localization patches are conflict each other.
12 (ex. Japanese and Russian patches are conflicting in
13 media-sound/xmms-1.2.7-r20. Therefore if you set USE='cjk', you'll
14 fail emerge it.)
15
16 Any ideas/comments?

18 Thanks,
