Interesting. I have /usr/share/locale/ in my INSTALL_MASK precisely in |
| 9 |
ordered to remove the language support I don't need anyway, and have had |
| 10 |
it there for a very long time, with no visible ill effects. I'd like to |
| 11 |
know why someone would put a locale dir in their INSTALL_MASK in the |
| 12 |
first place if they weren't purposefully trying to kill unnecessary |
| 13 |
locale support... |
| 14 |
|

(FWIW, I don't use a more general */locale/ mask precisely because I'm |
| 16 |
not sure the global effects would be viable, tho it sure would make |
| 17 |
things simpler for all the packages with their own locale dirs.) |
