Description:
To decrease size of installed packages, we want to create language
subpackages similar to yast2-trans-$lang and kde-i18n-$lang for other
areas. This feature is needed for one CD installations and helps also
with thin-client.
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.

Technically it's not a problem. The tools are there, but we need to
change ~500 packages to split translations out.
Suggestions? Letting them fail or submit them in masses?

Please discuss on dist mailing list.

we've done it for KDE and saved about 8MB for the english only CD. But
the potential for GNOME / Base is still big.

Micheal can you take a look at what Stephan did for KDE and see what
can be done for GNOME.

done for 10.3, to be reevaluated if enterprise compatible for 11.0 -
Thorsten had his doubts.
