nls support
Hi folks,
I found 1015 packages that contains files in share/locale, approximately
5% of our packages:
$ find pkgsrc/ -type f -name PLIST -exec grep -q "share/locale" '{}' \;
-print | wc -l
1015
There are apparently 35 packages that provide nls option enabled by
default:
$ grep -r "PKG_SUGGESTED_OPTIONS.*nls" * | wc -l
35
And apparently 28 packages that provide this option disabled by default:
$ grep -r "PKG_SUPPORTED_OPTIONS.*nls" * | wc -l
28
I am personally in favour of adding a nls option to packages that
provide localization file because it moves stuffs like LDFLAGS.FooOS+=
-lintl or CONFIGURE_ENV+= gt_cv_func_gnugettextX_libintl=yes out of the
Makefile and it makes it clearer. If every localized packages have a nls
option, we could choose a policy: either (i) nls is in
PKG_SUPPORTED_OPTIONS or nls (ii) is in PKG_SUGGESTED_OPTIONS. I prefer
(i) for my servers and (ii) for my desktop, then I have no strong
opinion on what should be a default policy.
I would like to know the opinion of the community. Should we offer set
of packages that are properly localized by default or not?
