Subject: [PATCH 1/1] kconfig: drop localization support

The localization support is broken and appears unused.
There is no google hits on the update-po-config target.
And there is no recent (5 years) activity related to the localization.

So lets just drop this as it is no longer used.

Suggested-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
---

The patch is on top of the series "kconfig: refactor package checks for GUI frontends"
It was triggerd by a comment by Masahiro.

I have compile time checked all targets - and checkted that they starts.
diffstat looks nice, and the simplification of the Makefile was worth it all.

I considered a stepwise approach, but changes are all simple so ended
up with this "all-in-one-go" approach.

	Sam

Just a nit:


PHONY += xconfig gconfig menuconfig config syncconfig update-po-config \
     localmodconfig localyesconfig


The 'update-po-config' is left-over in the PHONY assignment.

This is simple, so I can fix it up locally.

Applied to linux-kbuild/kconfig.  Thanks!


When I applied this, I added the following fix-up.



diff --git a/scripts/kconfig/.gitignore b/scripts/kconfig/.gitignore
index 54266f3..0aabc1d 100644
--- a/scripts/kconfig/.gitignore
+++ b/scripts/kconfig/.gitignore
@@ -2,7 +2,6 @@
 # Generated files

.mo is no longer generated.

It was added by
commit c26dd719a5b9d94d12211f2d101bd7dffb7f9f1f



Please double-check if it is OK.

I left it as I was not sure where the .mo extension came from.
And trying out the different frontends did not generate
any .mo files (I tried with a kernel before my patches).

So I assume the .mo extension was added because it is
often seen in combination with .pot files,
and not because the kernel actually generated such file.

See https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/glossary/#mo-files
for a short description of the .mo files.

In other words - the fixup is correct. Thanks!
