For languages we discussed previously already the following and will implement this now: The idea is to add to spec file of packages a new rpm macro so that subpackages are created and then related subpackages are repacked for each language in our build system. This way we would get e.g. basesystem-$lang and gnome-$lang packages and those can then be installed.
So, am I right? We want to split every package and every subpackage in language differented packages? We want that result: package-$lang, package-sub1-$lang, package-sub2-$lang, ... Is it goal to split single language files into language subpackages, e.g. a manual page? If not, is it goal to split two language files into language dependend subpackages? etc. :-) What should become the golden rule here? Wouldn't that remove a lot of the clearness in the package system? Wouldn't that result in lot of fragmenation of the installation media? I might want to consider here, that it was a challenge of not having enough space on the installation media in the past, and we had only a selecting of right packages for the single installation media. Doing this additional fragmentation might advance it again.
