Dear all, in today's council session, we decided to add LC_MESSAGES=C to the base profile make.defaults, accompanied by a news item. Below is a draft for said news item for review and comments. I will commit the news item and the profile change upcoming friday evening.
### Title: Language of compiler messages etc. in build logs Author: Andreas K. Huettel <dilfri...@gentoo.org> Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2013-08-16 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 As of today, the emerge build logs do not use the system locale anymore but default to English. The intention behind this is to ease the work of bug-wranglers and package maintainers, who may have a hard time analyzing localized builds. This change only affects the emerge build logs, nothing else. If you really want to have e.g. localized compiler error messages in your builds, set LC_MESSAGES in your /etc/portage/make.conf. Note that submitting localized build logs to the Gentoo Bugzilla is discouraged, and that such bug reports may be closed as INVALID by the package maintainer. ### Cheers, Andreas -- Andreas K.
