Description
Both ports want to install the following:
/opt/local/share/locale/cs/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo /opt/local/share/locale/da/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo /opt/local/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo /opt/local/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo /opt/local/share/locale/et/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo /opt/local/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo /opt/local/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo /opt/local/share/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo /opt/local/share/locale/ko/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo /opt/local/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo /opt/local/share/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo /opt/local/share/locale/pt/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo /opt/local/share/locale/pt_BR/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo /opt/local/share/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo /opt/local/share/locale/sl/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo /opt/local/share/locale/sv/LC_MESSAGES/tar.mo
Perhaps hfstar should be patched to change the names of its message files to end in hfstar.mo rather than tar.mo (and to find them accordingly). Ryan also suggested that its info file should be changed from tar.info to hfstar.info. He also mentioned the possibility that as ancient as hfstar is, its unique features MIGHT have been subsumed into guitar, making it obsolete. Perhaps that's worth checking, too.
