[MacPorts] #27380: Missing l10n packages for KDE4
#27380: Missing l10n packages for KDE4 ---------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: informatique@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: kde,l10n | Port: kde ---------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Hello, Sorry if I file this bugreport in the wrong place, I didn't know which package to target as it's about KDE4 as a whole. As far as I know, there are no translation packages (l10n files) for KDE4 in Macports, so the apps have to be in English. I asked about that in the user mailing list but got no answer. The only thing I found with Google was an answer from Ryan Schmidt in March 2010, inviting some user to report this as a bug. So that's what I'm doing. ;-) Is it a problem of manpower, or a more technical reason? Thanks for your attention. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27380> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

I'm Cc'ing our KDE people to find out if there is a technical reason. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27380#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Back when I picked up the KDE ports it was just the ones that had tickets open for them. There are a handful of KDE ports that remain unmaintained that could be, but it seems there's not been much interest in general. I can start looking into the 10n files: is all or nothing sufficient for your needs? The other options being we include a language setting in MacPorts (or perhaps there's one already in a file elsewhere on the system), or making a variant for each language. Thoughts? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27380#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Including a language setting in Macports seems overkill to me. Why make a setting that would impact the whole project with unforseen side-effects for non-KDE packages? Making a variant for each language : which package would have all those variants? kdelibs4? So I would just go with traditional language packages that users can install / uninstall at will without playing with variant flags or recompiling any central package. As far as I know, that's how most Linux distributions do it and that's how the KDE project intends the l10n files to get installed. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27380#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

I'm just surprised by the dependencies: mysql-server, openldap, kdebase4, akonadi... simply to compile some translation files? I'm not familiar with the KDE translation system as it is in KDE4, but I thought I'd mention it.

The port explicitly needs kdebase4, which requires all the other ports. I've taken a break from the language files to address KDE 4.5 issues; and then 10.6.5 has decided to ruin my ethernet drivers as well. One day I'll get them finished :-) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27380#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
