Hi,

Right now glibc-all-langpacks is installed in buildroots (mock, koji, …).
It is 24 MB, out of the total of 145 MB. Replacing it with glibc-minimal-langpack,
which has negligible size, would decrease the buildroot size by 17%.

glibc Requires glibc-langpack, and Suggests glibc-all-langpacks, so it
gets installed automatically to satisfy that dependency. If a different
package providing glibc-langpack is installed, glibc-all-langpacks would
be skipped.

I think glibc-minimal-langpack should be enough in the buildroot.
What about adding glibc-minimal-langpack to @Buildsystem ?


My concern there would be that any package that needs langpacks available in its build-system will now need to request them specifically (for example, if the package does tests of localization in %check). So if we made this change, it should probably go through the System-Wide Change process, the same as any other item we remove from the default buildroot.
