Description Boa Treize 2002-09-18 01:50:44 UTC
The livecd-ut2003-x86-1.4_rc1-r1.iso contains the USA Constitution and the USA 
Declaration of Independance, respectively in the files 
/usr/share/state/us-constitution and /usr/share/state/us-declaration. These 
files should be removed, or files from other countries should be added.

I suspect the same files are present on the other Gentoo ISOs, and perhaps 
also in the tarballs, but I haven't checked that.

By the way, I can provide the French Constitution, and many of the other dozen 
of texts that constitute the basis of the French nation. Forum user Tuxisuau 
may also be able to provide the text of the Spanish Constitution. :)

this is provided by sys-apps/miscfiles

ok i'm going to go ahead and say that since this is provided by a package that 
is US-English based (which is used by other US-English programs), the files 
will not be removed

if you would like to create a package called 'world-constitutions' or 
something, feel free to post it as a new ebuild

but otherwise, imho Gentoo shouldn't go around picking out files from packages 
based upon language/nationality/etc...

yes, Gentoo started as a US-based distro, but that is not the reason those 
files are installed
