After uninstallation: 1. aarddict âââ icons â âââ hicolor â â âââ 26x26 â â â âââ apps â â âââ 40x40 â â â âââ apps â â âââ 64x64 â â âââ apps â âââ Human-O2 â âââ 16x16 â â âââ actions â â âââ emblems â â âââ mimetypes â â âââ places â â âââ status â âââ 22x22 â â âââ actions â â âââ emblems â â âââ mimetypes â â âââ places â â âââ status â âââ 24x24 â â âââ actions â â âââ emblems â â âââ mimetypes â â âââ places â â âââ status â âââ 32x32 â âââ actions â âââ emblems â âââ mimetypes â âââ places â âââ status âââ locale âââ el â âââ LC_MESSAGES âââ ru âââ LC_MESSAGES ......................... | 38 directories, 0 files | ......................... 2. aarddict-0.9.2-py2.7.egg-info ............... | Totally empty | ............... This is a mail reply I received today from upstream: //.......................................................................... You must realize that aarddict works on multiple platforms and is also packaged for Windows, Mac OS X, Ubuntu and Maemo and is installable via pip inside or outside of virtualenv. setuptool's idea of where files should be is very different from Fedora. If aarddict only worked in Linux and assumed GNOME or KDE I would not package any icons except for app logo (several icon themes are available as part of "standard desktop") - but this is not the case. I am most certainly not changing anything in the source code structure to satisfy Fedora packaging "requirements" - because it would require completely changing how application locates it's resources and that is not something I'm willing to spend time on (even if it had a chance to work cross-platform). Sorry to disappoint you. Please note that making an RPM that users can install on Fedora is not the same as making an RPM that Fedora would accept into distro. As I mentioned before, the only reason I didn't make one is because Fedora does not package PyICU and I didn't have time and energy to package PyICU myself _and_ to setup and maintain yum repo. When/if PyICU becomes available in Fedora direct aarddict RPM download from aarddict.org would become a usable option for most users. ...........................................................................// Still I am interested to maintain this package, since currently the default dictionary which comes with fedora requires internet connection. Also, this software helps to use wikipedia and many others websites to be watched offline. The only solutions I found now are: 1. https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/79 or overlook these warning messages: //........................................................................ aarddict.noarch: W: file-not-in-%lang /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/aarddict/locale/el/LC_MESSAGES/aarddict.mo aarddict.noarch: W: file-not-in-%lang /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/aarddict/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/aarddict.mo ..........................................................................// The above solution resolves all problems Waiting for your response. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
