Now, I believe there is no bug related to Arabic left with Mandrake 10.1. I will check the beta tomorrow and file new bugs, if any. Hope not!
---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [Bug 6588] [locales-ar] RESOLVED: Translation files won't get insatalled when you install or update an rpm package Date: Yaum al-Jumma 19 Jumaada al-Thaani 1425 20:27 From: [pablo] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6588 [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |FIXED ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-08-06 22:27 ------- Done in locales packages starting from version 2.3.3-7mdk a postinstall script will be run (only when installing a new locales-* package, not un updates) that will add the language(s) provided by the locale to the list of languages rpm installs (the %_install_langs macro in /etc/rpm/macro), unless that value is already "all"; and also add the language(s) to the list for menus (languages()= in /etc/menu-methods/lang.h) and also, copy to /etc/locale/ the LC_* files for the default locale (the one defined in /etc/sysconfig/i18n for the displaying of messages) so that localized messages will appear properly at boot, even vefore /usr/share/locale is mounted As the script is run only on a new install, it will start to have effect only on a new installed system or on a system updated trough a complete update process (throug DrakX, like an install), and not by simply doing an update of a single locales-* file. You can however force it by first removing the old locales-* file then installing the new; eg: rpm -ev --force --nodeps locales-ar ; urpmi locales-ar -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You reported the bug, or are watching the reporter. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: RESOLVED creation_date: description: if Arabic (or any other language btw) is installed after the install of the system; you would also want to edit: '-etc-rpm-macros' to add it ("ar") to the "%_install_langs" macro; otherwise the translation files coming in the rpm packages won't get installed when you install or update an rpm package. I am not sure whether this is the right component. Note: I have to replace slashes with dashes (a bug in bugzilla?) ------------------------------------------------------- -- Munzir Taha PGP Key available gpg --recv-keys --keyserver www.mandrakesecure.net F0671821 Telecommunications and Electronics Engineer Linux Registered User #279362 at http://counter.li.org Mandrake Club member Maintainer of the Open Arabic Bugs Project at http://wiki.arabeyes.org/OpenBugs CIW Designer, ICDL, MOUS New Horizons CLC Riyadh, SA _______________________________________________ Developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/developer
