Thanks to your langpacks section now in comps I think we can and should now deprecate (well remove) all the explicitly listed conditional langpacks from comps. This will clean up things a lot. Can we still do this for comps-f16 or is it better to wait still for F17? I am happy to do the cleanup once given a green light. I can also post this question to devel list if it needs more discussion.
Paranoia makes me concerned about doing this for F-16. Maybe it's worth trying for beta though.
Ok then perhaps I could try pruning comps-f17 first then, if you don't get there before me. :) It occurred to us that maybe anaconda still needs them though? Is anaconda already using yum-langpacks now? :)
It should be using it now.
Ok thanks. Maybe anaconda needs a way to set langpack_locales, hm or maybe it is not worth worrying about? Perhaps we would need to keep the empty language groups around for that? I have changed comps-f17.xml.in locally to remove all of the conditional langpacks from language support groups and currently also removing all the language support groups that became empty by this. $ git diff --stat comps-f17.xml.in | 1519 +----------------------------------------------------- 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 1516 deletions(-) (I dunno why diff is claiming +3 but anyway.) It is a big change so I agree it is probably wiser to wait for f17, though of course doing it now would allow us to test longer and make any needed adjustments earlier. I just sent out a headsup mail about the plan to devel list, etc to allow any early discussion.
As first step I'd like to remove the langpack entries soon from comps-f17. Then we can think more about how to handle the empty language support groups. I have done the changes locally but I didn't have time to undo the removal of the now empty lang groups. I can do that latter this month (though not stopping anyone else from going ahead:).
Fixed in git.
Thanks! :) (just waiting for someone to merge them back now from f16;)
