Re: Suggestion: No more language packs for macOS as they are fundamentally broken

(Sorry, my fingers slipped somehow and my previous reply had no of my own text.)

4) create a real macOS installer package (native macOS installer
program, not a runnable script like the langauge pack "installer"),
similar to the windows msi that allows to customize the installation
and pick the components you want.


But where would such a "real" installer install the optional parts? Into the app bundle? Is it possible to leave out optional parts from a signed and notarized app bundle, if done by an installer? I honestly don't know. But my guess would be no, that leaving things out from the signed app bundle is no different from adding files to it later (as the language packs now do).

Sure, such an installer could instead put the optional parts in for instance /Library or ~/Library. But then we are back at the problem I already wasted a couple of weeks on: Teaching the LO code in various places to look up various things (message catalogs, extensions, autotexts, dictionaries, help, whatnot) in multiple locations. Which seems quite hard. At least to me, but somebody else who understands the code better might do it in a day, of course.
