Description Piotr Szymaniak 2012-03-19 15:27:07 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/es/LC_MESSAGES/tvision2.1.0.mo
/usr/share/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/tvision2.1.0.mo
/usr/share/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/tvision2.1.0.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)
