langpacks installation UX

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi,

Currently the handling and installation of langpacks seems suboptimal for Live installations:

- `dnf install libreoffice-langpack-ja` (without weak/rich deps)
- `dnf install langpacks-ja` (uses weak/rich deps)

This was discussed a bit in the Flock "Fedora i18n" session.
Some possible solutions include:

- Include Libreoffice langpacks for major languages in Workstation Live
- Do a post-install dnf/rpm transaction in an anaconda plugin via `initial-setup`
- Make `gnome-initial-setup` induce a PackageKit command to install langpacks for the chosen language (seems tricky to make this distro agnostic)
- Make `gnome-control-center` install langpacks when switching desktop language.
- Does `gnome-software` need any additional special support for getting langpacks metapackages installed? (It already has: Addons -> Localization)?

I would like to discuss this here to get more input on a solid solution to this problem.

Jens
