ok. I know we're repeating stuff discussed on IRC last week, but I |
| 11 |
think it's useful to put this sort of thing on the record. |

I'll go with having English as a default (rather than environment |
| 14 |
locale) with an override settable in make.conf - I think it's important |
| 15 |
that people have at least the option of emerge logs providing error |
| 16 |
messages in their native language. Also there could well be subtle |
| 17 |
bugs that trip on a non-C locale, that we never notice; that the ones |
| 18 |
highlighted when the locale is et_EE are fatal is just luck. |

On the subject of timing elsewhere in the thread, I don't see there's |
| 22 |
any hurry, as things have been as they are for a long time. However |
| 23 |
that's a decision for the people who plan out portage releases. |
