Maybe you've got LINGUAS set incorrectly. ;) |

Quoting the relevant bit again, |
9 |
|
10 |
the --changed-use option does not trigger reinstallation when flags |
11 |
that the user has not enabled are added or removed. |
12 |
|
13 |
kdeenablefinla was a flag the user (me or Hilco) had *not* enabled, so |
14 |
that option should *not* have triggered reinstallation. |
15 |
|
16 |
FWIW, there is discussion of the issue of triggering needless |
17 |
reinstalls on the dev list now because of kdeenablefinal, buried in the |
18 |
thread "[gentoo-commits] gentoo-x86 commit in sys-libs/glibc:...". It's |
19 |
mixed in with arguing about changing USE flags on stable ebuilds. |
20 |
|
21 |
--changed-use isn't mentioned, instead --exclude=kde-base/* is |
22 |
recommended, and they are talking about mentioning --exclude in the |
23 |
--newuse section of the man page. |
24 |
|
25 |
I'm not filing a --changed-use bug or posting in the dev list because of |
26 |
Medico's IMO rather prickly attitude about this kind of thing. He |
27 |
says in this case: |
28 |
|
29 |
The fact is, the user is not being forced to rebuild anything. They can |
30 |
simply run full system updates with --newuse less often if it puts |
31 |
too much strain on them. |
32 |
|
33 |
Lest I seem ungrateful, let me be clear I do appreciate the tons of |
34 |
work he's put into portage for many years. |
