Description Alexander Holler 2003-09-29 04:18:50 UTC

As kde-i18n now supports LINGUAS and could be used for every language, I think 
it would be nice if it would be included into the main ebuild kde.

Regards,

Alexander

I disagree on two reasons: one, a lot of people don't need/want to install
it, and two, the availability of languages changes a lot from release to
release.

Comment 2 Alexander Holler 2003-10-01 05:49:39 UTC

I agree that there are many people who don't use kde-i18n, but otherwise
the world isn't native english speaking and I think there are more people
using kde-i18n than poeple not using kde-i18n.

My solution would be to add us and en to LANGS in the ebuild but don't install
something if those two languages where (lonely) in LINGUAS.

Comment 3 Alexander Holler 2003-10-01 05:53:52 UTC

Or install nothing if LINGUAS is empty. You could use LINGUAS="all" for all
languages.

Yeah, I think I'll plan to do that.  This will also work much better once
portage supports linguas natively in the use flags, which was just fixed
yesterday and should be out in the next version of portage.

Any update on this? (especialy since KDE 3.3.0 is out)

I've thought about this more, and I don't see any good reason to add kde-i18n as a subpackage of the kde meta ebuild.  It's easy enough to get just by emerging it manually.
