Problem with language support and Emerge [Solved]

[KRA]

I was wondering, since sabayon is 100% compatible with gentoo, can I set up emerge to use the norwegian gentoo mirror for downloading apps ?

Also in make.conf I have the following set for norwegian language:
LINGUAS="nb nb_NO"

however when I try to compile Thunderbird 2.0 I get the following:
==================================================
localhost kay # emerge -av mozilla-thunderbird

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] n
=================================================

As you can see on thunderbird there is a -nb -nb_NO
but on enigmail (whatever that is) there is no - in front.

If I understand emerge correctly, then I will not get norwegian thunderbird !!? why is that ?


I'm using the 3.4a 64bit (I have a amd64 single core) should I make any changes to the make.conf regarding compiling etc ? Is there a guide of things one should "optimize" or do after install ?

Check your /etc/portage/package.use those linguas could be turned off explicitely (don't ask me why).
Generally go through your /etc/portage/package.* files (they are a bit crufty IMHO) and look for abnormalities. Also have a look at /etc/make.conf (VIDEO_CARDS and INPUT_DEVICES in particular).

[totedati]

or to be even more sure

Code: Select all

LINGUAS="nb nb_NO" emerge -av mozilla-thunderbird


then, if all is working as intended now, as voxiac sugested is time to begin a battle with your /etc/portage/package.* files.

hummm ... after my live are now shorter with some minutes ...

me, forgot the thunderbind part of mozilla suite. After an accidental use of firefox e-mail support, i remember that still kmail is not alone:

you see the LINGUAS="ro* part not so? This is because my LINGUAS line in make.conf is:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/make.conf | grep LINGUAS
LINGUAS="en ro"


so for me national language support was a "solved problem". But my try with thunderbind look like i don't have any more a LINGUAS="ro* part. Why? I suspect because thunderbind don't have at all romanian support. But for nb part i try also, to be sure what im talking here is not warporware, this variant:

Code: Select all

LINGUAS="en ro nb" sudo emerge -av mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird

Sorry, try again.

is not working ... and is sure, -nb_NO part is masked in /etc/portage/package.use:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/portage/package.use | grep thunderbird | grep nb_
mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird -linguas_en_GB -linguas_es_AR -linguas_es_ES -linguas_fy -linguas_fy_NL -linguas_ga -linguas_ga_IE -linguas_gu_IN -linguas_ka -linguas_ku -linguas_nb -linguas_nb_NO -linguas_nn -linguas_nn_NO -pa_IN -linguas_pl -linguas_pt -linguas_pt_BR -linguas_pt_PT -linguas_sv_SE -linguas_zh_CN -linguas_zh_TW


you see -linguas_nb and -linguas_nb_NO is here. edit that line in package.use and delete that part and now try again ... also edit you LINGUAS line in make.conf and put here something like me, for you i suspect LINGUAS="en nb" is ok. And then try again. I hope is working now ... For me is no hope, my language is not even masked, and with all my good settings, working for firefox, can not pull up ro in any form to my thunderbird install ...

then, lost any hope, do it again .... and after some time, 1+0.5 hours almost, my proc chewing the bits:

Thanks to all, it was the package.use that was the problem. I don't see the point in having those settings overriding you LINGUAS in make.conf
