The glibc in Fedora rawhide and F24 is now split by language packs. We have over 180 supported languages in glibc, and those have been split into langpacks for transparent install and support via dnf. This greatly reduces the size of a glibc install from 130MB down to a couple of megs. It drops support for the hacky %_inst_langs feature, and relies entirely on langpack support (it was one or the other). Thanks to Mike Fabian for the great work! Bug 1238406 - Glibc locale subpackaging https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1238406 Changes/Glibc locale subpackaging https://fedoraproject.org//wiki/Changes/Glibc_locale_subpackaging Notes: - If you don't use langpacks you won't get any locales except C, POSIX and C.UTF-8. - If you don't want to use langpacks just install the glibc langpack you want manually. e.g. dnf install glibc-langpack-en - Anaconda should take care of everything for you via langpacks. - We missed the fact that for the F23->F24 transition `dnf system-upgrade` should install glibc-all-langpacks (meta package) to give F23 users a smooth transition with all the locales they had before, but once in F24 the langpacks will be used. Filed: Bug 1312103 - “dnf system-upgrade” needs to install “glibc-all-langpacks” when upgrading from f23 to f24 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1312103 Cheers, Carlos. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
