Description Piotr Szymaniak 2012-03-18 20:34:05 UTC

When package is emerged, it dumps LC_MESSAGES for many languages, whereas I have the line 'LINGUAS="en"' in make.conf.

Actual Results:  
LC_MESSAGES contains unwanted files

Expected Results:  
LC_MESSAGES should contain only files for selected LINGUAS



/usr/share/locale/ca/LC_MESSAGES/blobwars.mo
/usr/share/locale/da/LC_MESSAGES/blobwars.mo
/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/blobwars.mo
/usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/blobwars.mo
/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/blobwars.mo
/usr/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES/blobwars.mo
/usr/share/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/blobwars.mo
/usr/share/locale/sv/LC_MESSAGES/blobwars.mo

I won't add USE flags for controlling the installation of one file per USE, also, as explained in:
https://blogs.gentoo.org/mgorny/2016/05/16/how-linguas-are-thrice-wrong/

that doesn't seem the way to go (probably install_mask would be the best)
