Title:
[Ffe] Support installing Language packs from gnome-control-center
Status in Ubuntu GNOME:
Confirmed
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in gnome-desktop3 package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Since we don't ship language-selector-gnome in Ubuntu GNOME there is
currently no way for users to install language packs. Currently they
would only be installed when doing a non-english install, after
installation the only way is for the user to install language-
selector.
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
gnome-desktop requires a simple one liner patch, that changes the
format of the locale code strings sent to g-c-c, I suppose this could
be considered breaking api, but that api was added specifically for
this feature and has been unused the last few cycles.
