Description Jeff Johnson 2005-05-23 12:13:43 UTC
Description of problem:

rpm is generating again i18ntable tags (100). These tags seem to be
empty strings right now (due to i18n not being included in packages since RHL 6.2).

Since these tags are not used, I think they should be removed again.

Also default rpm should not add such tags to make the default rpm more
usable for ISV vendors to use it.

Comment 1 Paul Nasrat 2005-05-23 13:53:39 UTC
Other distributions such as PLD, Connectiva (and thus I assume Mandriva) use
i18n tags, packages in Fedora Extras use i18n tags.
