Description Matthias Clasen 2007-08-08 18:44:38 UTC 
I've started using find-lang --with-gnome in spec files now, in the hope of
using _install_langs to reduce the size of live cds. It would be nice if
--with-gnome would not only pick up the help files in /usr/share/gnome/help,
but also the omf files in /usr/share/omf that go with them. 

The patch does just that. If you are worried about compatibility, we could
also make that depend on a new --with-omf option, but I don't really think
that is necessary.

Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2007-08-08 19:46:41 UTC 
Jeremy also proposes to make --with-gnome --with-kde the default in our %find_lang 
macro.
Comment 3 Panu Matilainen 2007-08-10 12:02:37 UTC 
I suppose it'd be good to have --with-omf to be in line with the other cases
but... I wonder what has been the real point of all the --with-gnome etc options
in the first place.
Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2007-08-10 13:29:43 UTC 
The point is to get %lang tagging for all the big locale-dependent files, so that
_install_langs can do its magic. The documentation under gnome/help is the reason
why evolution is the second-largest package on the live cd...
Comment 5 Panu Matilainen 2007-08-10 13:40:10 UTC 
Yes, I can see that :) I'm just wondering why those --gnome etc things have bee
optional to begin with if they dont break anything.

To make it clear, I'm not opposed to this or anything, just curious.
Comment 6 Matthias Clasen 2007-08-10 13:51:54 UTC 
Good question. 

The only slight concern is that turning it on by default now will cause
duplication between foo.lang and the explicit file list, with one entry
having a %lang tag, the other not. But I assume that rpm will handle that
correctly.
Comment 7 Panu Matilainen 2007-08-15 09:51:01 UTC 
Hey, this is rpm - assumptions are inherently dangerous :) I don't actually know
what will happen in such a case, but the worst that can happen is that
duplicates (which you'll get warned about) dont get treated as lang-files. Which
is harmless as it's no worse than what was before.

As for the patch itself, upstream at rpm.org and building right now into
rawhide, will be in rpm-4.4.2.1-8.fc8. I've been totally blind and missed the
fact that the .omf files were only searched when --with-gnome was specified,
that's safe enough for me. Thanks for the patch :)

Turning --with-kde and --with-gnome on by default in redhat-rpm-config is out of
my control, but I'm in no way opposed to that.
