Hello, Are you still willing to maintain this package? * unmaintained * open bugs * no upstream activity https://cgit.gentoo.org/proj/localepurge.git Probably we will need to send a mail to gentoo-dev at first before I guess that people will still want to use it. I don't remember what was finally the best alternative :/, I know mgorny was working on improving the locales issue... was relying on INSTALL_MASK the preferred option? Kinda. INSTALL_MASK certainly provides better opportunities than custom tools. However, my patches to Portage got stuck for some complex technical reason but I don't really remember what it was. I'm using them locally for years now but I don't know if anybody will care enough to get them to Portage now. @Michal, any updated on the INSTALL_MASK replacement? Thanks :) Nope. I'll try to ask Zac today why was it stalled. *** Bug 651338 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to Michał Górny from comment #6) > Nope.

I think I didn't push for well-defined path list but I suppose that's not a killer feature here. OK, thanks What would be the best tip for localepurge users then when masking it? Manually setting INSTALL_MASK? Relying on app-portage/install-mask? Manually, I think. Something along the lines of: INSTALL_MASK="/usr/share/locale -/usr/share/locale/foo" I'd appreciate if you could confirm that it works correctly with stable Portage. At least with latest stable sys-apps/portage-2.3.51 is seems to work nice ;) With all due respect, forgive me for my ignorance but what is the proper syntax for INSTALL_MASK to support two locales? Could an example be put in the package.mask file? I tried INSTALL_MASK="/usr/share/locale -/usr/share/locale/it -/usr/share/locale/en" but I ended up with only the it locale installed. make.conf.example reports: # INSTALL_MASK allows certain files to not be installed into your file system. # This is useful when you wish to filter out a certain set of files from # ever being installed, such as INSTALL.gz or TODO.gz #INSTALL_MASK="" Removing wrt #183273. |
