Description Michal Margula 2005-11-25 13:07:52 UTC

psi is using USE flags to install localized version, which is some sort of abuse:
- it is only documented in ebuild itself (so no information in use.desc or
use.local.desc)
- it is not mentioned in possible USE flags list, so --newuse won't work after
change (and again nobody will know about them until they look into an ebuild)

Proposed solution is to use LINGUAS variable from /etc/make.conf OR install
every language file (not much, it will take about 3 megabytes more).

and that's exactly what the ebuild does... :=) E.g., LINGUAS=de expands to
USE=linguas_de (see your emerge info output with LINGUAS set).

INVALID bug.

Yes, indeed. I am terribly sorry :).

ps. maybe firefox ebuild maintainer should use same way :).
