Description of problem: glib2 uses sr@Latn rather sr@latin directory, so glib20.mo is: /usr/share/locale/sr@Latn/LC_MESSAGES/glib20.mo > rpm -qf /usr/share/locale/sr@Latn file /usr/share/locale/sr@Latn is not owned by any package > > rpm -qf /usr/share/locale/sr@latin filesystem-2.4.13-1.i386 > See also bug #436887 for further information. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glib2-2.16.3-3 How reproducible: Everytime, see above. Expected results: Use sr@latin instead of the current sr@Latn directory for glib2.
Patching this on a per-package basis is hardly productive. I've sent a mail to gnome-i18n to discuss switching all Serbian gnome translations over to the new glibc locale tag.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Matthias, thanks for taking an interest in this issue. When we discussed this unification and transition within our community some time ago (which was prompted by glibc maintainer's inflexibility), I hoped the Gnome guys would get on it by now - we've managed to switch most of Fedora's modules so far. I think Danilo was hoping to get rid of sr@Latn in Gnome altogether and come up with a runtime solution that would do transliteration on the fly when sr@latin is requested, but AFAIK that work is not finished yet, and I decided to go ahead commit sr@latin translations to Fedora modules in the meantime. This issue is a mess since there doesn't seem to be a standard way to denote locale differences based on script across glibc/X/Gnome/KDE/Mozilla/OOo/Web. FYI, I personally think this is a good discussion of the overall problem: http://www.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icuhtml/trunk/design/language_code_issues.html and would love to see something like CLRD/RFC4646(obsoletes 3066 mentioned in the dcoument above) implemented across the board, but don't see glibc changing. Anyway, please let me know if I can help liaise with other Serbian teams and upstream projects. You can also get in touch with our Fedora team at fedora-trans-sr
Ping?
Relevant upstream bug is http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481423
This has just been changed upstream for all of Gnome. 2.24 will use sr@latin.
