Hi there, As some of you might already now, localization-config is not run in etch's d-i and, actually, it will NOT be available in etch so users cannot run it by hand after an upgrade (See #402566)
I was wondering if we should document this fact on the Release Notes, as some
users might have come to expect some of the thinks localization-config.
Based on the sources this is what it did for sarge users:
- installing -l10n packages based on the system's defined locale (including
fonts)
- preseed the user's dictionaries based on the configured locale (through
dictionaries-common)
- presetting the user's keymap in X (now users have to answer the
questions, when X gets installed)
- configuring the default Desktop environment based on system's locale
(GDM's /etc/default/gdm, KDM's kdmrc, KDE's system.kdeglobals)
- configuring some browsers with the system's default locale (lynx, links,
and mozilla)
- it seems mozilla is not an issue here since iceweasel will uses the LANG
environment to set its locale
How much of this is now done automatically (because of changes in the
packages or in d-i) and how much needs to be done manually by users?
Any information here would be appreciated,
Thanks
Javier
