(first try to try establishing a marker for "post-sarge" developments)
I worked a little bit more on localechooser (you'll find it in /people/bubulle) and now have some working stuff: -the old behaviour of languagechooser+countrychooser is restored all recent changes to both have been merged into localechooser -one can now change the language several times during the install (languagechooser has several bugs around this...we decided to leave this to post-sarge) -the additional prompt about choosing a locale works (the concept is grepping the SUPPORTED list with lang_COUNTRY, extract all supported locales for this combination and prompt the user for the exact locale to be used. The default value is the locale determined by languagechooser/countrychooser...the one we would have in sarge). This quesiton is medium priority -preseeding debian-installer/locale skips all language/country/locale questions if the given locale is valid. Still udner work but I had some successes -README file rewritten Some things are left: -code cleaning: - review the Makefile�: I hacked it a lot but I'm not a very deep specialist - more consistency among the localechooser script (indentation, variable references) - save some space�? -l10n - I broke a few strings and translations must be updated. This will happen when the package will be moved under packages/ I think that indeed localechooser will be probably ready for being included immediately after the final sarge release of D-I. It will certainly break a few things here and there but not enough for killing the whole early stages of D-I.... At the moment, contributors are welcome for giving it more testing (it needs to be able to build a netboot ISO and boot it in Vmware or qemu....just replace the languagechooser line in installer/build/pkg-lists/common, drop the countrychooser line and put the udeb in localudebs, then rebuild the netboot ISO). Some code cleaning contribution may happen also, but good coders should probably be more focused to bug chasing for the sarge release..:-) -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
