The problem is with encapsulated fedora we don't have them anymore. The only troves available are :source and :rpm afaik I remember that there have been some special tags for some packages to the locale trove that let you specify a language. But that was several years ago, and I can't remember the details (and here being irc centric fails again). I would be great though if we could have a way that conary fetches the right language for you by default and all other languages only on request > one problem with this idea however is how to separate for example docs in > different languages. > > in a group can packages be made optional in a way that they are only installed > if their dependencies are already there? I think we can do it just the other way around. Things aren't installed by default if nothing depends on them. > greetings, martin. > > -- > eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life > hackerspace beijing - http://qike.info > -- > chief engineer eKita.co > pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net societyserver.org > BLUG secretary beijinglug.org > foresight developer foresightlinux.org realss.com > unix sysadmin > Martin Bähr working in china http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/ > > _______________________________________________ > Foresight-devel mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.foresightlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/foresight-devel -- Mark Trompell Foresight Linux Xfce Edition Cause your desktop should be freaking cool (and Xfce) _______________________________________________ Foresight-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.foresightlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/foresight-devel
