Re: F37 Change Proposal: Firefox Langpacks Subpackage (System-Wide Change)

    How about a middle ground, by splitting langpacks into several
      larger groups (roman-alphabet+arabic&persian+far-eastern?,
      asian+european?). This way we wouldn't have to constantly twiddle
      with new packages and keep the number of packages sane.

            +1. It might be better to split it even more:
            firefox-langpack-%{lang} 

            and depend on the system-wide language (just like spelling
            dictionaries).

            
            Users will be able to install only the required locales.

          
          Right, I am
            aware of that.
          

          One problem
            is that the number of firefox langpacks changes somewhat
            over releases,
          so Martin
            was hesitant to take this approach in the past.  Probably
            still applies.
          So the
            proposed approach seems like a reasonable compromise and
            step forward.

          
          (I have
            pondered if we could decide on a set of core firefox
            langpacks which are "guaranteed" to exist
          and so
            hopefully could be safely subpackaged - but this makes the
            handling more complicated
          and
            delicate - it would have to be done very carefully in
            langpacks.)
