Re: Bug#181009: ITP: koffice-i18n -- i18n files for koffice



> * Package name    : koffice-i18n

Hi.  The situation with koffice i18n stuff is a bit unclear; in
particular, it has been included in kde-i18n at various times in the
past, though it doesn't seem to be at the moment.

There was a short thread on debian-kde regarding koffice i18n stuff
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2002/debian-kde-200209/msg00262.html)
that might also be worth reading.

Specifically the choice needs to be made between a single koffice-i18n
package, lots of little koffice-i18n-foo packages and simply putting
koffice-i18n stuff in the little kde-i18n packages.  Each of which are
bad solutions (respectively: massive package to download if you just want
a single translation, massive package splitting and different upstream
release cycles).

It might be worth discussing this a little on debian-kde to decide the
best way to handle this (I'm personally in favour of putting the koffice
i18n stuff in the little kde-i18n-foo packages that already exist, but
that means quite a bit more hassle for the kde-i18n maintainer).

Anyway, thanks for taking this up. :)

Ben.
