next patch for intel-sdp.eclass
Problem:
Documentation and examples are installed on every system. Also japanese
man pages are installed.
Solution:
Use USE.
+ [[ ${LINGUAS} == *ja_JP* ]] \
+ doman -i18n=ja_JP ${INTEL_SDP_DIR}/man/ja_JP/man1/*
Since LINGUAS is USE-expanded, shouldn't you rather test for
use linguas_ja?

You are right, I will check for that.
Thanks for the comment,

Everything is bundled and doesn't need to be built. I know your are against USE for installation only purposes, so my question is why? The reason I introduced the USE here and in general to use it in similar locations is that those packages install tons of documentation and examples, which I personally don't like to waste my diskspace with.

As long we make sure things are in places where noman, nodoc and friends work, it should be fine. justin signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
