Bug 429384 – media-video/smplayer-0.8.0 LINGUAS=ru should install Russian locale

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Sergey Popov 2012-08-01 17:36:26 UTC]

I have noticed, that after update smplayer does not install russian locale. 

Recently, there was commit(picked up from portage/media-video/smplayer/Changelog): 

26 Jul 2012; Ben de Groot <[e-mail]> smplayer-0.8.0.ebuild:
  Use l10n.eclass for handling locales.

It seems, that this commit drops 'linguas_ru' and replaces it by 'linguas_ru_RU'. It is new to me, all apps that i have seen in portage before use 'linguas_ru' if they have russian locale.

I have workaround for this issue(set LINGUAS to "ru ru_RU" in /etc/make.conf), but i would like to know, is this a bug or a feature?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set LINGUAS="ru" in /etc/make.conf
2. emerge smplayer
Actual Results:  
SMplayer has english locale

Expected Results:  
SMplayer must be localized

Same problem with Ukrainian locale:

As you could see there is no uk in LINGUAS, but uk_UA is present.

[Comment 2 Sergey Popov 2012-09-03 17:53:42 UTC]

As was said in IRC by yngwin - "this is not a bug". Values of "ru_RU" and "uk_UA" is valid for LINGUAS. For list of valid LINGUAS values please see linguas.desc in /usr/portage/profiles/desc.

I suggest little modification of localization guide to introduce link to this file. Link to apropriate bug is in "See Also" field.

Closing this as INVALID
