As I was alone for one night in a Toulouse hotel, without any Internet access, and as the "choosers" (lang/country) currently reached a quite stable status, I took some time for working on some post-sarge developments for this part of the installer.
All recent activity on the "choosers" has shown that the split between language and country choosers has more bad consequences than good effects. So, I began working on the merge of both to a "localechooser" package which could, in the future, replace languagechooser and countrychooser with a few more features (such as the possibility to choose between available locales for a given language+country combination). This is highly prospective work which I won't work very hardly on...because the major goal ATM is focusing on the stable release. However, I have reached a point where a "working" localechooser package exists, which I've been able to use as a replacement for language and countrychooser. I want to keep track of this work so I need to commit it. However, I think it would be better to have another place than "packages" for this just to avoid potential confusion to newcomers (and also to avoid annoying translators with not-yet-ready packages). Such a place could be used for all new developments and prospective packages. So, before commiting my work, I'd like to have some input from other d-i contributors on this subject. Branching could be a possibility, I'm not really sure if it would be appropriate in that case. -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
