Package: localepurge Version: 0.5.9-0.1 Hello,
While investigating Debian bug #222232, I noticed that localepurge uses code like this for deleting mo files: | if [ -d $LOCALEDIR/$LOCALE/LC_MESSAGES ]; then | for file in "$LOCALEDIR/$LOCALE"/*/* | do | if [ -f "$file" ] || [ -h "$file" ]; then | /bin/rm "$file" | fi | done | fi Is this really intentional to delete contents of _all_ subdirectories of $LOCALE if and only if LC_MESSAGES subdirectory exists? Specifically if all packages providing files in LC_MESSAGES are deleted, then why is it no longer a good idea to delete other subdirectories' (e.g. LC_TIME) contents? I suspect this is a kind of simplified heuristic based on the contents of most packages when this code was written? But then it's not "future-proof" and it does make it a little hard to fix #222232 :-) regards, -- Marcin Owsiany <[email protected]> http://marcin.owsiany.pl/ GnuPG: 1024D/60F41216 FE67 DA2D 0ACA FC5E 3F75 D6F6 3A0D 8AA0 60F4 1216 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
