Bug 97612 – sys-apps/man: honour $LINGUAS for USE=nls

• Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 96283
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Martin von Gagern 2005-07-01 06:08:00 UTC]

If USE=nls and LINGUAS is set, only the requested languages of man pages should be built.

Created attachment 62401 [details, diff]
Patch to man-1.6.ebuild

IMHO, it would be better to solve this globally in Bug 96283.

[Comment 3 Martin von Gagern 2005-07-01 06:59:03 UTC]

I think LINGUAS is the better approach. But this shoul perhaps be discussed
somewhere more general, e.g. in this bug 96283. Anyway, as far as I can see,
this solution based on locales.build is still somewhat in the future. So for now
it would be easy to apply this patch, and if at some time it is decided to use
locales.build, all ebuilds using LINGUAS should be reviewed anyway.

Yeah, I agree. Anyway, some solution is needed so that we don't have to install
useless cruft.

i misunderstood the issue

use localepurge ... updating the man ebuild is wrong

Why should I build some stuff only to delete it afterwards? Why not skip
building it in the first place, especially if the configure script supports it?

fair enough, added patch to cvs
