Localization Manager (addlocale)

[JohnW_57]

Maybe a strange question or a suggestion?

Does addlocale work when you have pinned packages or only on a full updated system ?

Not strange to me. I wondered the same thing.

Nope Xenaflux!

Pinned packages see at: http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,59692.0.html.  

A tip from the master himself!

at present, addlocale requires a fully updated system. I will have to amend the system-uptodate-test with the one from lomanager, meaning to fix it for working on non en_US localized systems and to provide an option to skip this test altogether so you can run addlocale with pinned packages. I will do that when I'm back home next week.

addlocale 4.1-6 coming to your repo soon with these changes:
- fixed system uptodate test for non en_US locales
- added rootcerts dependency
- added test and setup for openssl certificates
- added test to remove xsuaddlocale for incomplete run
- added option to skip system uptodate test
- fixed options to be applied properly
- browser now launches with user privileges

@ pinoc

I think you have to change something in the addlocale script for 64 bit.

I just wanted to install and I got following message

Error ( in AL install log) :Can not find libthai-devel

Which is correct as it is not in the repos

But

lib64thai-devel is in the repos

Thanks
EDIT

ok, thanks for the note. 64bit is not official but being tested in the moment, addlocale needs additional work for 64bit.

I went ti /usr/bin/addlocale and changed libthai-devel to lib64thai-devel

Then it installs the normal way

However, I am not clear as why I get a konqueror window popping up, saying it can not find the server

what server? what is the exact error message, details please.

[Xenaflux]

Well, the thing is gone now. I didn't take a copy or snapshot, as my mind was not in testing mode , but more like damn mode

Can I find that somewhere in the logs  ?

seems to me the only point where you can get this message is if the download of the translation archives fails. In this case addlocale will exit and tell you to try again later. But you already successfully ran addlocale after changing to lib64thai-devel so I don't understand how you can get an error message when it runs successfully, unless you got this error message before the successful run.
