Description David Tardon 2016-02-22 08:03:12 UTC
Description of problem:
libreoffice supplies 10 langpacks that have no langpacks-foo equivalent, which means that they cannot be auto-installed. These are:

br - Breton
ga - Irish
he - Hebrew
nn - Nynorsk
nr - Southern Ndebele
ss - Swati
tn - Tswana
ts - Tsonga
ve - Venda
xh - Xhosa

Could they be added? Or, alternatively, should we drop them from libreoffice if Fedora is not interested in them?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
langpacks-1.0-4.fc24

Additional info:
The libreoffice (and openoffice.org before it) package only enables languages on an explicit user request (upstream supports over 100 languages, we package less than 70). Which means that there was user interest in each of these at some point in the past.

Here is the initial list we decided to created langpacks-<lang> subpackages -> http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/langpacks.git/tree/langpacks.spec#n26

We that time decided that when in future we will get new requests, we will evaluate it and if needed will add new langpacks-* subpackages.

Let me discuss about these languages in g11n team.

Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2016-02-22 09:57:11 UTC
I think it is good to add them.

Comment 3 Parag Nemade 2016-02-23 06:10:58 UTC
Okay added in new build langpacks-1.0-5.fc24 in rawhide now.

Thanks David for reporting this bug.
