Great - thanks. I was actually going to write something very similar for
yum-utils for F11 to allow automatic installing of langpacks, etc, for when
installing packages.
My idea was to use meta-packages for that though. So if you have have say the
"japanese-support" metapackage installed and then go to install openoffice it
would pull in the Japanese lang pack for you automatically. I agree with Rex
that it needs to support more than just langpacks. Eg installing kde should
pull in ibus-qt if you are using ibus for example, but I think that could be
done. There was also a request for such support for emacs support subpackages,
which might work both ways (ie either when installing emacs and/or the program
the subpackage is supporting (eg emacs-git)).
So how about including this in yum-utils?
