Description of problem: Could not find the OpenOffice.org Sinhala (si) language pack in the Fedora 14 repository Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. install fedora 14 2. yum search openoffice.org-langpack 3. Actual results: can't find openoffice.org-langpack-si OR openoffice.org-langpack-si_LK Expected results: openoffice.org-langpack-si OR openoffice.org-langpack-si_LK should be there Additional info: you can find RPM packages for OpenOffice.org Sinhala 3.3RC http://download.openoffice.org/all_rc.html#untested-lp
I only build langpacks for a language if there's been at least one request for them. There are various languages in there which have e.g. no support in the OS itself or no available fonts capable of rendering the language in Fedora. I'll add si in the next builds, seems reasonably well translated.
Will be in >= 3.3.0-13.4.fc14
i don't agree with you. even Sinhala fonts are supporting for both Fedora and RHEL. You did not tested it either. at least you should look at the OO.org released builds There so many untested (as per OO.org) languages released here. but si was missing. Thnaks for adding Sinhala to the next build.
"i don't agree with you. even Sinhala fonts are supporting for both Fedora and RHEL. You did not tested it either. at least you should look at the OO.org released builds There so many untested (as per OO.org) languages released here. but si was missing." You misunderstand me. I didn't say that Sinhala fonts are not supported on Fedora, what I said was that I only add langpacks when at least one person requests them. Now someone has for the si one, so in it goes. My follow up point is just to note that it's not automatic that I add every language that OpenOffice.org supports and there happen to be langpacks available for OpenOffice.org for which there is no e.g. glibc locale support or for which no fonts exist which is why I don't just add all of them.
how nice! user has to request? do you think that each Fedora user should filed a bug and request his language pack? You are working as per Red Hat's way not the community.. How many people know how to create a bug? In Red Hat there are set of l10n ppl for each language and they tested their language. In terms of space, there are some packages exceed the size of 200MB.
I documented all of this some years ago at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org#OpenOffice.org_langpack_rpm_guidelines And the reason I didn't add all langpacks was as described above, i.e. when I had done that previously I ended up with langpacks which weren't supported by glibc and/or large langpacks which were useless as their text couldn't be rendered with any available font. Your anger here I feel is misplaced, the alternative is that I go through every possible translation available in OpenOffice.org myself and determine if its supported by the rest of the OS stack. And repeat this at every release because new translations may be added. I don't think its too much to ask that a large langpack subpackage only gets added on request, or that this is anti-Community in anyway. Time gap between request and me adding this was two hours.
I don't have anger but disappointed :-) Yes, there is no point of releasing langpacks that weren't supported by glibc. Thanks again for addning Sinhala. - cya -
Caolan, today morning i saw OpenOffice.org updates in fedora repo. did you release the Sinhala Langpack?
They precede this I believe, having a bit of difficultly getting x86_64 to build at the moment, freezes during the build in koji, but works fine locally, trying to debug this now.
is it possible to get it within next week?
