 Posted: Sun Dec 29, 2024 12:52 pm Post subject: [Solved] localization, USE_EXPAND and myspell... |
 |
|
So, I finally found the time to move all my USE_EXPAND stuff from /etc/portage/make.conf to /etc/portage/package.use/some_filename_I_choose.
According to Gentoo Wiki article /etc/portage/make.conf#USE_EXPAND (example filename: /etc/portage/package.use/00local) that's the way to go... I also read Localization/Guide#L10N (example filename: /etc/portage/package.use/localization).
My /etc/portage/make.conf looked like this:
| Code: | LINGUAS="de en"
L10N="de de-DE de-AT en en-US en-GB" |
My /etc/portage/package.use/00local looks like this:
| Code: | */* LINGUAS: de en
*/* L10N: de de-DE de-AT en en-US en-GB |
Should be exactly the same, right?
Now, with LINGUAS and L10N in make.conf, my system doesn't find updates with my standard update command. I use: emerge -aDuvN --with-bdeps=y --keep-going @world
So, after commenting this out in make.conf and using package.use, I get the following:
| Quote: | # emerge -aDuvN --with-bdeps=y --keep-going @world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
Dependency resolution took 30.21 s (backtrack: 0/20).
[ebuild R ] app-dicts/myspell-en-20240801::gentoo L10N="en-AU* en-CA* en-GB en-US en-ZA*" 0 KiB
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB
Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] No
Quitting. |
If I comment L10N out in my package.use and activate it again in my make.conf, this happens:
| Code: | # emerge -aDuvN --with-bdeps=y --keep-going @world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
Dependency resolution took 30.73 s (backtrack: 0/20).
Total: 0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 KiB
Nothing to merge; quitting. |
How can that be?
Does anyone have an idea why that is? Is there something I'm missing? Or is this a bug in portage, or a bug in myspell-en? Because if so, I should report it as such, right?
Thanks in advance... A.

The make.conf way is assignment. You get exactly what you wrote, no more and no less. The package.use way is modification: you gain what you ask to gain, drop what you ask to drop, and keep the previous defaults for anything unspecified. This is explained in man portage: | man portage: | package.use
Per-package USE flags. Useful for tracking local USE
flags or for enabling USE flags for certain packages
only. Perhaps you develop GTK and thus you want documen‐
tation for it, but you don’t want documentation for Qt.
Easy as pie my friend!
Format:
- comments begin with # (no inline comments)
- one DEPEND atom per line with space-delimited USE flags
- USE flags can be prefixed with USE_EXPAND name followed by a colon (:)
and a space. In this case, all the names following it are treated
as values for the USE_EXPAND. Note that if you need to remove earlier
assignments or defaults, you need to explicitly specify ’-*’.

As I read the ebuild for myspell-en, it default-enables all the L10N flags it knows: | app-dicts/myspell-en/myspell-en-20240801.ebuild: | PLOCALES=( "en-AU" "en-CA" "en-GB" "en-US" "en-ZA" )
IUSE="${PLOCALES[*]/#/+l10n_}"

If you want not to enable L10N other than the ones you list, you need to negate any inherited ones. |

Thanks!
I did have the strong feeling that I was missing something...
So this /etc/portage/package.use/00local works now:
| Code: | */* LINGUAS: -* de en
*/* L10N: -* de de-DE de-AT en en-US en-GB |
Again, thanks!

I think "LINGAS" is probably a typo
-> LINGUAS |

Thanks.
Since I copy&pasted from make.conf, I wonder how that got in there...
Anyway, fixed in my postings and my package.use/00local. Again, thanks!
