Hi guys, I've made a small patch to bsd.ports.mk which allows you to remove useless "localization files". Currently "clean-locale:" supports "statically" (i.e all entries in pkg-plist which doesn't match "^%%.*%%" (untested, but it should work)) and is called before "generate-plist:". The patch can be found here : http://www.cultdeadsheep.org/sheepkiller/FreeBSD/ports-devel/remove-locale.diff I plan to support multiple LOCALE_DIRs so it could be used for docs, templates, etc... But I've have some questions :) 1. Has someone already done that ? (I didn't find anything) 2. Is it a good idea ? 3. Is it REALLY usefull ? 4. Do you have any idea to avoid hacking "generate-plist:" ? 5. Is writing a "packages cleaner" program is a more clever way to do that ? 6. Comments ? Regards, clem
