Description barthek 2004-04-29 02:34:33 UTC

hi,
i think it would be a good idea to include gettext
in system profile. many, many applications/ebuild use msgfmt
even though USE nls option is disabled.
the other way around would be to edit all ebuild that use
msgfmt ;)))
regards,

Spanky,
I followed your comment on this one back in 2004 :)

But it seems gentoo people opinion is not consistent.
Take a look at bug no 161764 please.
