Hello,
Would like to know:
1) Why Mozilla Language Packs are including practically all the languages spoken on the planet as default
There are two language packs: - One installs the common languages. This set is determined as the core set of supported languages in openSUSE - the second installs all additional languages provided by Firefox
2) Why is not present a way to uninstall unnecessary language packs both from inside Mozilla app (Thunderbird/Firefox) or even from system wide option
The cannot be uninstalled because they are installed globally on the system (aka by root). And you cannot delete the system wide since they are packaged together to a set of languages.
Now about the decision why there is a set of languages instead of one package per language: - there are almost no disadvantages doing so - there are a lot of advantages doing so * all languages are coming from the Firefox source package and therefore splitting that up to 90 subpackages means a lot of bloat in the specfile which needs to get touched with every small update * more others I can explain in detail if needed
What would your recommendation be and what is your problem with the current approach?
Wolfgang
I have a question. On two different computers firefox routinely resets itself to the wrong spell checking language. On 12.1 it was Russian, on 12.2 it is Portuguese. Any idea how to prevent that? I don't have those languages installed otherwise. It resets every time I restart firefox. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
