Hi. |

|
| 3 |
Long story short: |
| 4 |
localepurge will be removed from portage [1]. As I was (/am) heavy |
| 5 |
user of it I found it funny that "linguas takes care of the proper |
| 6 |
locale installation" [2]. Maybe it should, but there's some major |
| 7 |
failure in lots of packages. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
So I filled few dozen bugs about this, but it's not always an easy task |
| 10 |
to make a package respect LINGUAS. As we talked about it on #gentoo-bugs |
| 11 |
there were few suggestions to solve this issue. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Not directly related to solving, but will help (by ssuominen): |
| 14 |
make a tracker bug for offending packages |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
And related to issue: |
| 17 |
1) an eclass to clean unwanted locale/man pages/whatsoever - yngwin |
| 18 |
suggested that theres something similar for qt [3] |
| 19 |
2) something like FEATURES="fixlafiles" (fixlocale? ;) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Opinions? |

at the end has prepare_translations, but it's Qt specific |

o zemscie. (...) Lecz koniec koncem, coz ona jest warta, ta zachwalana |

zemsta? Niczego sie przez nia nie zyskuje. Bynajmniej nie poprawia |

czlowiekowi samopoczucia. I w koncu sprawia, ze staje sie on jeszcze |

gorszy od ludzi, ktorych chcial ukarac. |
