Bug 1344

Maybe we could:
- An empty mozilla-thunderbird-en_US (from the mozilla-thunderbird-l10n src.rpm)
- Add virtual provides, mozilla-thunderbird-l10n to all mozilla-thunderbird localisation packages
- Add a requires on mozilla-thunderbird-l10n in mozilla-thunderbird

Assigning to maintainer now that our maintainers database has an entry for
this package. Please assign back to bugsquad@mageia.org in case of a mistake
from me.

As Ahmad already proposed, this is rather easily doable, just tested that locally. But for most systems, where more than one locales-xx package is installed, installing thunderbird would prompt the user to select one out of these packages.

E.g. on a default german installation, where locales-fr, locales-de and locales-en_GB are installed, the installation of mozilla-thunderbird would prompt for one out of mozilla-thunderbird-fr, mozilla-thunderbird-de or mozilla-thunderbird-en_GB packages.

This is as near as a solution will get. The question would be, do we really want that?

Summary: fix mozilla-thunderbird to add the proper rpm's language => automatically install proper language pack when thunderbird is installed

It's better to do nothing :)

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

Sorry, i've totally forgotten this one, had it locally but didn't commit it it because it wasn't tested that well. Will try to get back to it after i have my production system upgraded to mga2.

Commited http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=667189
Please test with latest firefox-l10n-31.0-3.mga5

Test case:

When locales-XX is installed, urpmi should automatically select according firefox-l10n-XX package. If this works, I'll commit the same for Thunderbird.

Sorry, forgot the other half of the change:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=667194

Please test with firefox-31.0-7.mga5

  urpme -a firefox && urpmi firefox

should propose firefox-l10n-XX package according to installed locales-XX package.

Source RPM: mozilla-thunderbird-3.1.10-1.mga1.src.rpm => mozilla-thunderbird

Just checked here, seems to be working as expected:

[user1@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep locales
locales-2.19-1.mga5
locales-en-2.19-1.mga5
locales-de-2.19-1.mga5
[user1@localhost ~]$ sudo urpmi firefox

In order to satisfy the 'firefox-l10n' dependency, one of the following packages is needed:
 1- firefox-de-31.0-3.mga5.noarch: German interface for Firefox (to install)
 2- firefox-en_GB-31.0-3.mga5.noarch: British English interface for Firefox (to install)
 3- firefox-en_ZA-31.0-3.mga5.noarch: English (South Africa) interface for Firefox (to install)
What is your choice? (1-3)

It even proposes firefox-l10n-de as first choice, seems it even can read my mind now :p


Will commit the same for thunderbird and close this one. Please provide feedback if you find any related issues.

Submitted thunderbird-l10n-31.0-2.mga5 and thunderbird-31.0-2.mga5

Feel free to reopen in case any issues arise. Will try to also add a few lines to Release Notes for this as the whopping new magic feature :)
