Here's an idea for a solution to this and other lang problems |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
1) Make a use flag "lang" to hangle non-english languages |
| 23 |
2) Make a variable LANG (in make.conf or rc.conf) and set it equal to the |
| 24 |
language wanted. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Then when an ebuild with the lang flag is called, it'll pick up which |
| 27 |
language from the config file and install the proper language. |
| 28 |

Dunno how feasable this is, but it seems like a good idea to me :) |
