Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 66703
en-US language packs for linux and windows missing language-tag (not labled with en_US)
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:26:05 UTC
The language packs for windows and linux for 2.0.3(rc6 and earlier rcs) are missing the language-identfier for en-US. It is OOo_2.0.3rc6_060616_LinuxIntel_langpack.tar.gz and OOo_2.0.3rc6_060619_Win32Intel_langpack.exe instead of OOo_2.0.3rc6_060616_LinuxIntel_langpack_en-US.tar.gz and OOo_2.0.3rc6_060619_Win32Intel_langpack_en_US.exe Solaris versions are labeled correctly: OOo_2.0.3rc6_060616_SolarisSparc_langpack_en-US.tar.gz OOo_2.0.3rc6_060616_Solarisx86_langpack_en-US.tar.gz
since this is an easy fix (simply (and if necessary manually) rename the files) and there is another RC coming anyway - I set the target 2.0.3 (2.0.2 languagepacks had the label for windows and linux versions)
Please have a look
Having the en-US installation sets without their local name within the file name is correct as en-US is OpenOffice.org default locale. All en-US installation sets behave like that.
closing
reopen The answer is not complete or missing important parts/is wrong. Not all behave the same.. If the en-US identifier should not be present for the languagepacks, then why do the solaris packages have it? IMHO the lanugage packs really should have the identifier to avoid confusion (esp. since there are language-packs for other variants of english)
ping
I change the target of this issue to 2.x. But I think a solution should be found earlier!
en-US has been defined as optional part of the filename in http://development.openoffice.org/releases/filenames.html As proposed in OOo release status meeting today (http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/ReleaseStatus_Minutes) I will add en-US for all en-US builds (not only language packs) in 2.1.0rc2
Ingo, please add en-US language tag to all en-US 'download' installation sets
accepting issue.
Target 3.x
