Last year we had announced introduction of a new L10N variable
intended to replace LINGUAS as a USE_EXPAND variable [1]. Since then,
many packages have been converted to the new variable.
The next step in the conversion will be removal of LINGUAS from
USE_EXPAND, which means that LINGUAS will become a normal variable,
maintaining the standard gettext behaviour. For a transition time,
all linguas_* flags currently existing in packages' IUSE will be
added to use.desc, but will be removed again when conversion of the
remaining packages is complete.
The package sci-mathematics/maxima for ages uses linguas_* flags for
installing translated documentation, the possible values of * are
de es pt pt_BR
This usage is, I suppose, wrong. I tried simply to replace all linguas_ to
l10n_ in the ebuild, but repoman complains about pt_BR.
What is the correct mechanism to install translated documentation
depending on the user's wishes?
