Some data: ${datadir}/libgweather size (uncompressed): 77 MB ${datadir}/libgweather size (compressed): 14 MB rpm size (uncompressed): 4 MB rpm size (compressed): 14 MB Based on this, I'm not sure we actually want to use this, since 10 MB is a lot, and I'd expect that this will have an impact on the live cds too. cc'ing Christoph & coolo for some feedback about the potential impact on live cds. -- 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.

This should be an improvement for most cases.

So in the end, it's a win. Fix bnc#428346. FWIW, I tried it in a home project and the compressed xml files do end up in the bundle-lang-gnome packages. -- 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.

Actually, I now wonder: both libgweather-lang and bundle-lang-gnome-fr will install /usr/share/libgweather/Locations.fr.xml.gz. I guess this is... bad. Should I create /usr/share/libgweather-bundle like we do for the other files in the bundles? -- 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.
