That is similar to USE="no<something>" with all the attendant user |
| 20 |
support problems it brings. |

|
| 22 |
A far better method from a user point of view is to install the linguas |
| 23 |
the user explicitly asked for. Your proposal as worded will be taken at |
| 24 |
first glance to mean "install all linguas, but not XX" as most users |
| 25 |
won't see the MASK portion and forget to flip the logic around in their |
| 26 |
head. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
How much work is it to get native support for LINGUAS into all ebuilds? |
| 29 |
That would be the intuitive place considering there is already USE flags |
| 30 |
for LINGUAS. |
