The problem with this approach is that it's not possible for the user to get additional locale content without reinstalling after enabling another locale (by installing the associated system langpack package that controls this). Splitting them out into langpack subpackages guarantees that it's possible to do that. The filtering is useful for inconsequential ones, where it's just not worth it to split, but otherwise, it's not. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
