Doesn't seem to work: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
# grep -E '^(LANG|LC_|L10)' /etc/portage/make.conf |
| 18 |
L10N="en-GB" |
| 19 |
LANG="en_GB" |
| 20 |
LC_MESSAGES="C" |
| 21 |
# env | grep -E '^(LANG|LC_|L10)' |
| 22 |
LANG=en_GB.utf8 |
| 23 |
LANGUAGE=en_GB:en_US:en |
| 24 |
LC_ADDRESS=en_GB.UTF-8 |

These are the packages that would be merged, in order: |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Calculating dependencies... done! |
| 48 |
[ebuild rR ~] dev-libs/libjcat-0.1.1 |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] no |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Quitting. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Package "dev-libs/libjcat" does in fact have a "man" USE flag, and it |
| 55 |
provides a single manual page, "/usr/share/man/man1/jcat-tool.1.bz2". I |
| 56 |
don't know for sure though whether my adding 'LANG="en_GB"' to "/etc/ |
| 57 |
portage/make.conf" and doing all the magic in the Gentoo Locaization |
| 58 |
Guide caused Portage's desire to re-emerge that package or something |
| 59 |
totally different. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
But there are other packages installed with the "man" USE flag, which |
| 62 |
didn't even flinch. In particular there is package "sys-apps/shadow" |
| 63 |
which among other things provides the "passwd" command and which doesn't |
| 64 |
honour the "man" USE flag at all, but is quite polyglot: |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
# cd /usr/share/man |
| 67 |
# find . -type f -name 'passwd*' |
| 68 |
./ru/man1/passwd.1.bz2 |
| 69 |
./man1/passwd.1.bz2 |
| 70 |
./sv/man1/passwd.1.bz2 |
| 71 |
./man3/passwd2des.3 |
| 72 |
./ja/man1/passwd.1.bz2 |
| 73 |
./it/man1/passwd.1.bz2 |
| 74 |
./fr/man1/passwd.1.bz2 |
| 75 |
./hu/man1/passwd.1.bz2 |
| 76 |
./de/man1/passwd.1.bz2 |
| 77 |
./tr/man1/passwd.1.bz2 |
| 78 |
./zh_CN/man1/passwd.1.bz2 |
| 79 |
./man5/passwd.5.bz2 |
| 80 |
# |
| 81 |
|
| 82 |
So the question how to get rid of all these unnecessary languages is |
| 83 |
still open. |
| 84 |
|
| 85 |
Sincerely, |
| 86 |
