Feature changed by: snwint Feature #302955, revision 8 Title: Split translations out of installation system openSUSE-11.0: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory Requested by: coolo@novell.com Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: The translations of yast are the biggest part of the installation image. These should not be part of the image, but should be pulled in from the product media as the user selects them. Discussion: #1: jsrain@novell.com (2007-11-09 13:18:17) Duncan, we will need a Linuxrc support for this. Can Steffen look into this feature? What comes to my mind is: Linuxrc needs to download and mount the language image for the language which user selected in bootloader menu (or English as fallback) Linuxrc needs to provide a support (eg. a script) which YaST can call when Language changes and downloads and "mounts" the new translation image It is questionable whether it should be YaST or Linuxrc who makes checks if the asked image is already downloaded, IMO it should be Linurc... #2: snwint@novell.com (2007-11-09 14:08:01) (reply to #1) I don't see linuxrc involved at all. YaST can just donwload he required files. Doesn't look that tricky to me. #3: jsuchome@novell.com (2007-11-09 14:29:36) (reply to #2) Maybe, but I do not know how. Lukas, don't we have some API in yast2- installation for that (copying target package from media to inst-sys, if I understand it correctly)? + #4: snwint@novell.com (2007-11-09 14:32:40) (reply to #3) + We've had exactly that discussion when we talked about loading the + licenses. I think now is a good time to fix yast. I really don't see + why other programs have to download various files for yast when yast + could as well do it itself. And when this means doing the repo init + earlier, then, well, do it earlier. -- SUSE Feature Tool: http://partnerfate.suse.de/?rm=feature_show&id=302955
