I confess I'm a relative newbie at the port munging game...
With that in mind, I've just built Openoffice from the port on
a FreeBSD 6.4 machine, working via Portmaster.
It took 12 hours to build, but it got there. Back patting all round...
And then I realised that it is localized for en-US.
A question and an observation.
The question is: how can I fix this? I believe I can do it by
rebuilding the port with LOCALIZED_LANG=en-GB, but given that
this is going to make the machine distinctly unresponsive
for more than a day, I'm keen to avoid it if I can.
Is there no quicker way to make just this change?
The observation is that I didn't notice a place where I was asked to choose
the locale to use. I guess there may have been such a question, but
if I had noticed it, I would certainly have chosen GB.
So, to my mind, something went wrong with the build process. I
managed to miss answering what I think should have been a very
obvious in-your-face question...
Robert.
