Bug 42653 – kde-i18n ebuild claims that the LINGUAS is a list of country codes

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andreas Vinsander 2004-02-23 14:10:00 UTC]

I think the description in the kde-i18n ebuild should be changed something like this:
The LINGUAS environment variable should be a list of the language codes of the wanted languages.

Right now it states that the LINGUAS variable is a list of country codes.
After reading the ebuild I tried to install my native language package (swedish), following the ebuild description I used 'LINGUAS=se' -> which installed some 'Northern sami' language not swedish as I expected. The country code for Sweden is 'se', the language code is 'sv'.

Ahh yes.  I will fix this - since english is my native language, I wasn't aware of this. :)

kde-i18n-3.2.0.ebuild the worst ebuild ever.

if you want to emerge all the LINGUAS and then select yours.

i think alowing the users to use $USE is better and eaysier !!!

If you've got a better suggestion I'd like to see it.

Okay, the wording has been changed in the ebuild.  Thanks for the report
