(This isn't a "bug" as much as "a problem we need a solution for.") pungi assembles its package set without actually using a yum transaction. In general, this is fine. However, in F-17 and derived distributions, we've dropped all the conditional langpack packages from comps, and rely on the yum-langpacks plugin to pull them in. pungi, because of this change to comps, no longer pulls in any of them. Options include: - explicitly adding <blah>-* to pungi kickstarts (ick) - working langpacks into pungi somehow - your idea here
Just to be clear, the impact of this is likely that most langpacks aren't going to be on the install DVD.

Nominating as a Beta blocker, we can argue whether this makes the system sufficiently broken if you don't speak English. The 'langpacks' that are missing apparently include at least man-pages translations, libreoffice translations, KDE desktop translations and hunspell translations. Bill says that yum doesn't install the missing translations on first update because it only does it at install time, not update time. I'm going to confirm the impact of this, but AIUI, it basically means if you say, do, a KDE install from the DVD in, oh, French or something, your desktop, libreoffice, and man pages will all be in English. We don't really have criteria that this hits; we only require all critical path actions be translated, at Final time. You could only argue it's a conditional breakage of the 'usable desktop' criterion in the case that you don't speak English, but that's something of a stretch. My instinct is -1 beta blocker, but... -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
i dont see this as a beta blocker but +1 as a final blocker
-1 to this being a beta blocker
I'd be -1 beta +1 final.
If there is a way to install the langpacks after the initial install, I'm -1 beta blocker, +1 final blocker
Meeting minutes says this has been rejected for Beta [1]. Changing to Final blocker and adding CommonBugs. [1] http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2012-04-11/f17_beta_go_no_go_meeting.2012-04-11-21.00.html
Added explicit langpack wildcards to fedora-install-fedora.ks. Will work on the l10n kickstarts next.
Discussed at 2012-04-20 blocker review meeting - http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-bugzappers/2012-04-20/fedora-bugzappers.2012-04-20-17.01.log.txt . Accepted as a blocker per final criterion "All critical path actions on release-blocking desktop environments should correctly display all sufficiently complete translations available for use".

fixed in comps
