It certainly allows for it - it requires that the packagers take advantage of it. ISTR discussions in the past that the mechanics of creating the langpacks in the spec file wasn't something they wanted to deal with at the time. yum-langpacks can't help with that part. > 2) In the Optional/longer term ideas: > "3. recommendation for Packaging Guideline for standard naming of langpacks > (eg <basename>-langpack-<lang>)" > > This seems an easy step, both to standardize the form of <lang> as well as to > suggest a virtual provides to packages that already provide this, I am > thinking in this case of packages like kde-i18n* or kde-i10n*. These virtual provides should be there for any langpack that exists. I suppose I should write an official packaging guideline for this.
