As of today, the emerge build logs do not use the system locale |
| 17 |
anymore but default to English. The intention behind this is to |
| 18 |
ease the work of bug-wranglers and package maintainers, who may |
| 19 |
have a hard time analyzing localized builds. This change only |
| 20 |
affects the emerge build logs, nothing else. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
If you really want to have e.g. localized compiler error messages |
| 23 |
in your builds, set LC_MESSAGES in your /etc/portage/make.conf. |
| 24 |
Note that submitting localized build logs to the Gentoo Bugzilla |
| 25 |
is discouraged, and that such bug reports may be closed as INVALID |
| 26 |
by the package maintainer. |
