We want to allow for users to be able to install language packs via the gnome-control-center region panel. I had a set of patches from 3.6/3.8 era that implemented this, and got quite a bit of testing, but sat and bit-rot until now. The packagekit code, which is the bulk of the changes was well tested back then. - Basically there are two patches to gnome-control-center - 1. provides an api for installing language packs using packagekit whatprovides and the 'Modify' dbus helpers - 2. Integrates this into the UI, I've hi-jacked the "More Languages" dialog this time, which provides much simpler integration than the previous approach, technically that breaks UI Freeze, but currently its completely disabled, so shouldnt be a problem documentation wise, not that we have any documentation really + Basically there are two patches to gnome-control-center: + 1. provides an API for installing language packs using packagekit what provides and the 'Modify' dbus helpers. + 2.
