Bug 205328 – x11-misc/remind nls support

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jan Seeger 2008-01-11 14:11:06 UTC]

The normal remind ebuild currently in portage does not respect the LANG variable and is thus not built for the correct language. I use the nls use flag to determine if to build with a specific language.
This is my first real ebuild and pretty much only for my own consumption, but I wanted to share it nonetheless. NOTE: The get_language function needs some more work.

Reproducible: Always

Thanks for your ebuild.

But I will not commit it to the tree as it hides the problem: The language should be chosen at runtime and not at compile-time. So this is more a upstream bug.

(If you don't want to maintain a modified ebuild you can also use  EXTRA_EMAKE='LANGDEF=-DLANG=GERMAN' (if you want a german ui).
Put it in /etc/portage/env/x11-misc/remind and it works automagically with future versions.)

Thanks
