After reading Donnie's interesting post about how to set VIDEO_CARDS and
INPUT_DEVICES in xorg 7, I wondered for a while if LINGUAS should have the
same treatment.
Defining LINGUAS variable would be useful to allow people to know whether they
are going to have special support for their language in a package, but it
would also clutter the output quite a bit. I experimented locally with kdetv,
that uses LINGUAS variable to condition .po files and documentation
generation in a predictable way (as in, the ebuild has to know which
languages are available beforehand anyway):
[ebuild R ] media-tv/kdetv-0.8.8-r1 USE="-arts -debug -lirc -opengl
-xinerama -zvbi" LINGUAS="it% -bg% -br% -ca% -cs% -cy% -da% -de% -el% -en_GB%
-es% -et% -fi% -fr% -ga% -gl% -hu% -is% -lt% -mt% -nb% -nl% -pa% -pl% -pt%
-pt_BR% -ro% -ru% -rw% -sr% -sr@Latn% -sv% -ta% -tr% -zh_CN%" 0 kB
What people think of this? Whatever decision is taken I think it should also
be documented somewhere for people to use.
Also, as repoman complain about linguas_blabla not being a valid useflags, all
the linguas_* useflags should be listed in use.desc (consider that it would
take a while, _if_ we decide to go this route, before all packages are
updated to do this, but it's silly to pollute the use.local.desc file until 5
packages are using a given language); the descriptions need also to be
accurate.
(sorry missing signature, I've broken pinentry and waiting for it to be
rebuilt by emerge -e world)
