Add |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
L10N="en" to make.conf |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
"en" has no tweaks to be made to the new naming style so that's all you |
| 30 |
do. Other folks who use, for example, Brazilian Portuguese, will need to |
| 31 |
make tweaks and look up the correct value in the file the news item |
| 32 |
references. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
For now LINGUAS and L10N will work in parallel and the devs will do the |
| 35 |
heavy lifting. For the moment all changes will be light touch, the big |
| 36 |
tasks will happen later. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
One day you will need to remove LINGUAS from make.conf entirely, but |
| 39 |
that day is not today. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
And all of this is necessary because making a USE_EXPAND env var called |
| 42 |
LINGUAS was a really stupid idea from day one. |
