It's more accurate to say LINGUAS is "build-time specific". Portage is |
| 12 |
not the only build process/package manager/configuration system/coffee |
| 13 |
maker that knows what LINGUAS means. It's the "official" (as far as |
| 14 |
there is such a thing) place to store the list of gettext translations |
| 15 |
you want on your system, and most autotools-based builds and binary |
| 16 |
package managers also recognize it. |
