For -lang files that only contain .mo files (translations) and no doc files etc., we should use Recommends and not Requires. This allows users that run an English only system to remove the lang files completely. Please keep this in mind when packaging and change the spec files.

I've just gone through a couple of packages and will send submitrequests for these,

It is funny, because when I get some langpacks and remove them, I get another ones for another language and so I have to add lock for each package :> . -- Jakub Rusinek http://blog.jakubrusinek.pl/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

This is because the language packages are required in most packages - and exactly what AJ wants to change. So it's not funny. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Btw. we can change Requires: %name-lang = %version to Recommends: %name-lang since the lang package itself has an explicit requires on the version of the base package - and recommending a specific version does not make sense, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Why doesn't it make sense (apart from being unneeded)?

Recommend package =version does still allow to install the package with a different version - doesn't it?

Yes, as the version is just recommended. But that's why the lang package contains a requires to the main package, right?

Correct. So, you just confirmed that the "=version" is not needed in the recommends ;) Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
