Instead of downloading all language files which takes forever make the package honour the LINGUA setting and use just the select language file(s).
that's exactly what the ebuild does (or is supposed to do). Does this not work for you?
No everytime it downloads all the language files then installs the correct one. I can set the LINGUAS setting from the command line but where can I put it so it is the default in the environment?
I also get this error with the new KDE 3.2-rc1 packages when doing an emerge -Duf kde:- No message digest entry found for file "kde-i18n-af-3.1.94.tar.bz2.
what about now for 3.2 final?
I am compiling kde-3.2 over the weekend so will post a reply then.
Nope just compiling kde-i18n now with "LINGUAS=en_GB emerge -Du kde kde-i18n" and it downloading all the language files.
I also see this Bug. Furthermore it is the same for at least koffice-i18n and realplayer. I think this is a bug in Portage.
