The manpage of eutils.eclass doesn't include the paragraph for the "strip-linguas" function. There's some documentation at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=1 This function makes sure that LINGUAS contains only the languages that a package can support specified by the arguments to the function. If the first argument is -i, then a list of .po files in the specified directories is built and the intersection of the lists is used. If the first argument is -u, then a list of .po files in the specified directories is built and the union of the lists is used. and as comments in /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass too: # Make sure that LINGUAS only contains languages that # a package can support # # usage: strip-linguas <allow LINGUAS> # strip-linguas -i <directories of .po files> # strip-linguas -u <directories of .po files> # # The first form allows you to specify a list of LINGUAS. # The -i builds a list of po files found in all the # directories and uses the intersection of the lists. # The -u builds a list of po files found in all the # directories and uses the union of the lists. Please add this to the manpage. Reproducible: Always
it's documented in eclass-manpages now
