After Panu showed the necessary queryformat magic in the other thread,
I actually sat down to see how hard it is to get the necessary
information out of rpm to do that. The result is a very rough shell
script that spits out a list of packages that you need to reinstall when
_install_langs changes. This is just a proto-prototype:
- You can probably do the same thing much better in python
- A real solution must handle language support groups as well
- I don't know if this approach will work for removal of languages, too.
(Does --replacepkg ever remove files ?)
- It would probably be better to use a dedicated /etc/rpm/macros.lang
file
- An actual implementation must decide where to expose this
functionality: in pirut, since it is about installing packages or in
s-c-language, since it is about language support ?
Maybe this inspires somebody to work on an actual implementation.
