We have usual OSS applications that handle locales via *.po/*.mo files. These can (and must) be handled in spec file. I don't have any problems with this. But firefox is different. Far different. First, it ships langpacks separately from main programme, in *.xpi files. Second, Firefox's langpacks are extensions not proper locale AFAIK. So if yum and anaconda could be patched to install desired langpacks for applications like OOo and FF that could have it splitted into separate packages automatically then I think Firefox's langpacks should be in separated packages. If we don't have this functionality we should stick with langpacks inside the main package - but IMO that is not a good solution. Just because they are handled as extensions by upstream they should be handled as extensions in fedora as well. I don't see any technical or other reason which would block this. Thanks, Martin
