There are quite a few more packages (under the kde herd) that provide the linguistic functionality. The only difference with those and kde-i18n is that english is enforced and cannot be stripped off from those packages.
The kde-i18n death message was added because kde-meta had to pull it as well. Then we noticed that it was bringing problems with the english locale, no locales or unsupported locales. There were various proposed solutions, as you can see in bug #137297. We opted to remove the death message and show a notice in the cases where there was no LINGUAS defined or the provided locale set was unsupported. IMHO, forcing LINGUAS into make.conf isn't a clean solution. On 12/11/06, Mike Frysinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
