Bug 269262 – [devmanual] LINGUAS section

• Product: Documentation
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Mounir Lamouri (volkmar) (RETIRED) 2009-05-10 13:56:23 UTC]

I've wrote something for the LINGUAS section for the devmanual.

Please, QA team, can you review it ?

Created attachment 190842 [details]
general-concepts/linguas/text.xml

This is a bit rough as I prefer to wait for your advices before submitting a final version. I will also wait for the final version to submit a patch instead of a plain text file. (btw, do devs have writing rights in devmanual repository ?)

I'm waiting for your commentaries.

Commit access needs a special group so it's not open to everyone. The general idea for the page looks good.

just discussed on irc: the use of IUSE_LINGUAS is probably unneeded/wrong in most situations.

See meld ebuild (which currently depends on intltool but probably should only depend on gettext), it filters linguas per user settings without ever showing IUSE_LINGUAS nor would it need to. It avoids doing excessive shell in global scope as well.

oh and if the packages depends on intltool and uses it but does not respect LINGUAS, this is a bug in the local copy of the intltool rules. You can copy intltool herd (currently gnome) on such bugs.

This idea is obsolete
