https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=385293 User mfabian@novell.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=385293#c3 --- Comment #3 from Mike Fabian <mfabian@novell.com> 2008-04-30 11:50:44 MST --- I checked that the German specific tar balls of Acroread downloadable from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/8.x/8.1.2/deu/AdobeReader_deu-8.12-1.i486.tar.bz2 contain some files which seem to be related to German spell checking, for example: Adobe/Reader8/Reader/intellinux/sidecars/Spelling.DEU And if one installs this German specific version of acroread with the Adobe INSTALL script, a German spellchecking dictionary can be found in the menus (I didn’t check whether it actually works). But ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/8.x/8.1.2/deu/AdobeReader_deu-8.12-1.i486.tar.bz2 is another 48 Megabyte big tarball. I.e. creating a special acroread_de.rpm package which conflicts with the “regular” English acroread.rpm package makes no sense. We already have this for Japanese (there is a acroread_ja.rpm in openSUSE) and we want to get rid of this, not introduce more special acroread package for each language. There are currently 15 language specific versions of acroread downloadable from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/8.x/8.1.2/ It is just nonsense to have 15 rpm packages each around 50 Megabytes in size which mutually conflict in our distribution. So the only reasonable solution in my opinion is to have a basic acroread.rpm supporting only English with addon rpms containing fonts, translations, spell checkers, ... for other languages. Therefore I’ll close this bug as a duplicate of bug #379503. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
