Hello All!
I found another one thing that was made unpractically. We got
langpacks for 40 different languages that occupies ~12 MBytes from 43
Mbytes. This situatuin is drastically dioffers fron one with
OpenOffice.org whose langpacks are not shipped with main app.

I think that it would be reasonable to split firefox into main
application package and many language packs.

On my system right now, /usr/share/locale takes up 373MB, dwarfing whatever Firefox uses.

Which people who do minimal installs can (and do) bring down to close to 0 by
%_install_langs to something different to all in %{_libdir}/rpm/macros

Splitting out Firefox's langpacks won't solve your problem.


Actualy it will because I'm pretty sure that Peter is already using %_install_langs and probably also %_excludedocs

May I suggest however that a much better solution would be to use %lang XXX int he %files list for the langpacks, that way if Peter indeed is using %_install_langs, then he will automatically use the lnagpacks to without all the downsides of using seperate langpack sub packages

Hans
