Bug 205963 – app-admin/sysstat ignores LINGUAS

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Arvid Norlander 2008-01-15 14:16:46 UTC]

app-admin/sysstat-8.0.3 ignores the LINGUAS variable set in make.conf

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set LINGUAS="en en_GB sv sv_SE" in make.conf
2. emerge app-admin/sysstat
3. Watch when emerge merges the changes to the filesystem
Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
It should not install locales I didn't request in my LINGUAS variable. (Of the ones installed I only requested sv).

@Arvid: I assume you are going to provide patches for all those #205* bugs you filed?

[Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2008-01-15 17:58:10 UTC]

Perhaps something like this:

(In reply to comment #2)
> Perhaps something like this:

The patch I proposed is far too generic to apply to each and every ebuild in the tree that installs LC_MESSAGES, so this or similar code should probably be integrated into a kind of locale-purge type tool that users can install separately (and probably adjust to use directories other than /usr/share/locale).

[Comment 4 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2010-03-15 23:21:56 UTC]

Changing resolution.
