Khmer is missing in the language filter of package selection
Last modified: 2006-03-14 13:39:57 UTC
If I manually select my packages during installation I have an option to filter by language. Unfortunately Khmer is not in the list, even though I can select it as UI language during installation.
Stefan, Martin, please, check the package selector for both Qt and NCurses
I think that it is not an issue with the UI but rather the package set for Khmer is simply not defined. Jens, please have a look at CD1/suse/setup/descr/*.sel and send us the list of packages that should be installed for Khmer in the various selections (Minimal Graphic, KDE, GNOME etc.)
Why do I get this now? This is not a UI bug, if it is a bug at all. The languages displayed in the package selector are those for which there are dedicated language-specific packages. If Khmer doesn't appear there, there are not Khmer-specific packages on the distribution - which honestly doesn't amaze me very much considering that a few weeks ago we had zero language support for Khmer. If one day there might be Khmer-specific packages, Khmer will appear in that list. We do not enumerate all possible languages there just for the fun of it.
@Stefan: Obviously Suse Linux is developing faster than you know ;-) There are three packages related to Khmer already! Fonts, Yast translation and KDE translation. So I reopen this bug. @Martin: Thanks for the pointer to the package selections. Since I am an outsider I was not aware of this. I did look at it and I found that there is already one package mentioned, the font package in X11-10.1-2.noarch.sel. Unfortunately this package is not yet on the media :-( See here for a bug about this missing package: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=148207 For the other two packages I suggest, just like the equivalent packages for other languages, this: Kde-Desktop-10.1-2.noarch.sel: +Ins.km: kde3-i18n-km -Ins.km: Min-10.1-2.noarch.sel: +Ins.km: yast2-trans-km -Ins.km:
Good. Another Stefan, please apply the changes in the selection packages.
Oh sorry, I think I forgot one. There is Fonts-10.1-2.noarch.sel which should get all font related packages, right. So there the package KhmerOS-fonts needs to get added.
fixed in selections, but probably the packages are also missing on the media.
No, yast and kde translations are already on the media. Only the fonts are missing, but the bug for this is mentioned in comment #4. If fixing the selections adds Khmer to the list of languages I think this bug can get closed. I will check beta5 for this anyway.
ok, selections changed, KhmerOS-fonts added to cd-config.
I tested beta6 and the result is almost fine. Selecting Khmer does install all packages that are needed :-) But there is the small issue that the package KhmerOS-fonts is still not in Fonts-10.1-2.noarch.sel and therefore not listed when I choose the font selection in Yast. I open the bug again because of this.
Stefan: can you add this package to the Fonts selection (and finally close this bug ?)
fixed for Beta > 8.
