It is not you who add it, it is all libintl-related programs which always use short names on install: target, as I already write initially. > As I can understand it's side effect of any functionality which is supporting > search path mechanizms. Yes. So, a) if libintl have search patch mechanism, it must be reviewed in security terms before importing or b) if it not have search path mechanism, it must be ever not imported, because ports tree require hierarchy under /usr/local/. > What exactly you mean under term "evil" ?

I disagree. What future changes it can simplify excepting libintl? I see no reasons to add yet one path for LC_MESSAGES and as locale maintainer ask to back this change out for now. If it required for libintl, I'll be pleased to see it in libintl changes pack for review, not here. -- Andrey A.
