 Posted: Sat May 20, 2006 10:59 pm Post subject: Automatically delete information from unused locales |
 |
|
many packages install information for i18n and l10n information, and for many people this is unneeded. A simple way to delete man pages and locale data for translations you do not need is to do the following.
1. emerge localepurge
2. edit the config file, /etc/locale.nopurge
After configuring the entire thing remember to comment out the line that says
NEEDSCONFIGFIRST
scroll down to the bottom, here is where locales are added
one per line, mine looks like the following
| Quote: | en
en_US.UTF-8
en_US |
3. run localepurge once to clean out old cruft, not needed but will give an idea of what it does.
4. Edit /etc/portage/bashrc and add the following (thanks flameeyes!)
| Code: | if [[ ${EBUILD_PHASE} == "postinst" ]]; then
einfo "Running localepurge..."
PATH="/bin:/usr/bin" localepurge
fi |
There you go! |
