The sort-countries scripts, currently in choose-mirror tree, but unused, was originally submitted bu Denis Barbier.
It is intended to alphabetically sort the list of countries in all languages, by using the Indices field supported by cdebconf. I had it tested successfully on a French install and, thus, I guess it works OK for other languages (needs tests for non Latin-script languages which I'm unable to check...:-))). I intend to uncomment to call for this script in debian/rules (and move this call after dh_installdebconf, btw). This kind of script could be re-used elsewhere in d-i, when we need to have sorted lists in all languages. The first target is certainly kbd-config where the current list of keyboard choices is *very* confusing, even in English because it is sorted according to the name of the kmap files.... About choose-mirror, I also have some waiting-to-be-tested work on removal of country names "translation" and use iso-codes for getting the country names and translations from the mirror countries codes. -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
