Bug#305150: possible improvements for tasksel / installer to allow multi-lang installation
Package: tasksel
Version 2.23
(Debian Sarge RC3 installer)
tasksel has the localization and desktop environment tasks specific for each
language although these tasks do not show up because they are screened by
the test-lang function, which ONLY allow the task in the language of
installation to show up. The intention is good since it doesn't want to
confuse people with too many options. However this makes multi-lang
installations very difficult.
Therefore is it a good idea to change the installer sequence a bit:
- first run dpkg-reconfigure locales and let users to select locales to be
installed
- then change the test-lang program so that it allows ALL of the
localization / desktop tasks belonging to the locales chosen in
dpkg-reconfigure locales, rather than just the language used during
installation to show up on tasksel screen.
Then this would make multi-lang installations much easier.
