• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Martin Mokrejš 2010-10-11 12:44:00 UTC]

What is the point to have these symlinks created?

Why are pl_PL.ps, ro_RO.ps and other pointing to another language which is different?

$ grep LINGUAS /etc/make.conf
LINGUAS="en cs cz"

From CHANGES files in transfig tarball:

        o Glyphs for Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Slovak and Slovenian
          are essentially the same as Czech (ISO-Latin 2) so symbolic links are
          created for those .ps files (hu_HU.ps, pl_PL.ps, ro_RO.ps, sk_SK.ps
          and sl_SI.ps are linked to cs_CZ.ps)

If this is wrong, please, clarify.
