Hi all,
There are two portions facets are specified:
(a) server (package) side; to indicate which langs/locales an action is for
(b) client side; to indicate which langs/locales user wants to install
From package provider's point of view i.e. (a), l10n facets can be specified
like:
Language specific action (e.g. French)
set name=facet.locale.fr value=true
Locale specific action (e.g. French in France)
set name=facet.locale.fr_FR value=true
From client's point of view i.e. (b), in core IPS part facets are specified
as described in the
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/pkg/gate/doc/facets.txt
and as Bart said UI should provide it user-friendly.
As Bart already said, migration to use facets is targeting after the
next release. Core part of facet support is implemented but
related softwares e.g. packagemanager and installers/DC need to be
capable of handling facets. I'll update with plans by confirming plans for such
enhancements.
Thanks,
Takeshi
