[Bug 551003] New: Unnecessary localisation files for myspell and openoffice-thesaurus as recommended packages
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=551003 Summary: Unnecessary localisation files for myspell and openoffice-thesaurus as recommended packages Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Live Medium AssignedTo: coolo@novell.com ReportedBy: badshah400@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=324693) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=324693) Output from first run of zypper inr User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091016 SUSE/3.5.4-1.1.2 Firefox/3.5.4 Using RC2 here. Fresh installation using GNOME/KDE Live-CD x86-64 with Language and Keyboard both set to English(US). First run of yast software manager module pre-selects about 400-500 MiB for installation. A significant chunk of this is localisation files for openoffice-thesaurus and myspell. For example zypper inr attempts to install the following "...myspell-french myspell-german myspell-italian myspell-polish myspell-russian myspell-spanish nspluginwrapper nss_ldap-32bit nss-mdns-32bit OpenOffice_org-base OpenOffice_org-base-extensions OpenOffice_org-calc-extensions OpenOffice_org-converter OpenOffice_org-draw-extensions OpenOffice_org-filters-optional OpenOffice_org-help-de OpenOffice_org-help-es OpenOffice_org-help-fr OpenOffice_org-help-it OpenOffice_org-help-pl OpenOffice_org-help-ru OpenOffice_org-hyphen OpenOffice_org-impress-extensions OpenOffice_org-mailmerge OpenOffice_org-math OpenOffice_org-pyuno OpenOffice_org-templates-en OpenOffice_org-templates-presentation-layouts OpenOffice_org-thesaurus-de OpenOffice_org-thesaurus-en OpenOffice_org-thesaurus-es OpenOffice_org-thesaurus-fr OpenOffice_org-thesaurus-pl OpenOffice_org-writer-extensions..." These various languages form the significant chunk of the 488 MiB it tries to download while I am sure the en files are the only ones I am goin to need. This is stopper in my opinion. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run zypper inr, or start yast software management module 2.Note packages pre-selected for installation in yast, or the files that zypper inr want sot install. 3. Actual Results: There is an attempt to force openoffice-thesurus and myspell in various languages on the user despite his/her chosen locale. Expected Results: No need to download bogus localisation files. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

they are not bogus. The locales of Ooo are installed and they recommend the
The different locales being already installed is not useful for any one person who will in all probability use only one of these.
help packages. Nothing bad about it - just that's the live cd has all these languages installed is suprising to people not using them.
What is bad is this: I have to pay through my nose for downloading languages I have no use for and about 200-250 MiB's of those. Then I will have to locate these packages in the package manager assuming I have remembered them and remove them. I felt really good that there were a number of languages this time in the live-cd's. I just did not think, that I was going to be affected because of them this badly. Also the DVD's from 11.1 and earlier had various languages, did they not? I never had openoffice_help-de install automatically, never! I don't understand what a ship_stopper means (even the wiki does not explain it), but installing ~400-500 MiB of packages (including the 32bit packages in unrelated bug 547751) that an user doesn't require, from the internet and paying for it seems like an experience he/she will avoid. i put in a ship_stopper because that is what it is for me. Sorry if that was a mistake. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So is the problem here in OpenOffice.org, or somewhere else? Somebody please change the component if necessary. Assigning to pmladek in the meantime.
Yes the big problem is with various openoffice related localisation files (like help, thesaurus, etc) being installed though I have selected US locale for during installation. This inflates the first time download size after fresh installation. Even if just this is fixed I think it will help a great deal. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
