Sorry, I don't understand the meaning or feeling of "Great" here. Can you explain? You are confusing two different aspects: one is providing Debian mnogosearch packages and another is how search.debian.org is constructed. I agree that Japanese people cannot use Debian mnogosearch package but we are forced to recompile it, in order to save megs of disk space from people who don't need Japanese. (Please write an instruction on recompilation at README.Debian). However, search.debian.org is a different topic. Since Japanese is one of several languages for which number of translated pages in http://www.debian.org/ is more than 50%, it is nonsence to exclude these pages from the target of search. I don't understand at all why some of Debian (and other free-software- related) people tend to exclude Japanese and other Asian languages from range of support.... Even people who are interested in i18n and translation sometimes tend to do! --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/
