Log Message: ----------- sharutils: * Updated to 4.7. * NLS support is now a variant.
Why, by the way? Do you believe most people will not want native language support? There's a lot of software with NLS, and I think most of it is on by default. Do you propose going through all of them to make NLS off by default? Why is this desirable? Why should we spend time on this? All it does, in the end, is give the user yet another choice they need to make. Our goal should not be to give the user every conceivable choice, but to use our expertise to choose a reasonable configuration for the user.
I think NLS should be a variant in every port, then it could be able to enable it if you want. This would be a reasonable configuration setting for the user.
+variant nls description {Enable NLS support} {
I think the name of the variant ("nls") makes it pretty clear that it "Enable[s] NLS"; the person who needs to read the description, however, is the one who doesn't know what "NLS" stands for. If this variant is retained, the description should be more helpful.
FYI, since "NLS" stands for native (or natural) language support, "NLS support" is just as redundant as "ATM machine" or "PIN number". :-)
Thanks, i'll change this. -- Anthony Ramine, the infamous MacPorts Trac slave. nox@macports.org
