I also found a not used anymore .mo file in package kde-l10n-nl-16.08.0-1.2.noarch. In the build service, https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/kde-l10n, I found that this comes from a tar file kde-l10n-nl-16.08.0.tar.xz, but I can't find where this file is coming from. I assumed it is coming from the KDE project, but my bug report on KDE was labeled DOWNSTREAM, so it seems to be an openSUSE issue. I inspected the tar file and found that this no longer used file, /usr/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES/plasma_applet_kdeobservatory.mo, comes from that tar file.
This tar file comes from the official KDE Application releases, it is what they (upstream) deliver. You can download it yourself from http://download.kde.org/stable/applications/16.08.0/src/kde-l10n/ and have a look, kde-l10n-nl-16.08.0.tar.xz does contain plasma_applet_kdeobservatory.mo (in 4/nl/messages/kdeplasma-addons). It's also still there in the latest 16.08.1 release. We probably could remove this file (and the other KDE4 ones that might still be included in our kde-l10n-de packages), but it's probably not worth the effort. I think I read they were going to be removed upstream soon anyway.
The package in this bug report is present/generated in https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/bundle-lang-kde, however the spec file is too complicated for me to pinpoint where the issue comes from. Is it something KDE should do or openSUSE. I assume KDE is producing regularly new tar files with these .po or .mo files, but I don't know.
I already told you: during the creation of bundle-lang-kde, all the separate -lang and kde-l10n-xx packages get installed, and the files from there copied to the new bundle-lang-kde-xx packages. plasma5-pk-updates is not part of the regular KDE Application releases, so its translations are not part of kde-l10n either. Actually there don't seem to be any releases at all for a long time, the last one is the outdated 0.2 (from April 2015, see https://github.com/caybro/plasma-pk-updates/releases) which we use and apply a couple of patches upon. We have a separate tar ball with the translations in the plasma5-pk-updates package sources that gets published as plasma-pk-updates-lang. The translations are part of KDE's SVN (like all other KDE translations), but I don't know a way to easily download all of the current ones for plasma-pk-updates only. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
