Hi All,
Glibc locale subpackaging [1] is critical change for Fedora 24. In last meeting Jens suggested an idea of having dedicated test day for this change.
Just continuing discussion on that. 1. Change is not available in Fedora 24 2. Other missing things? Test cases availabiltiy What is appropriate date? Alpha freeze?? Creating test day page.
Regards, Pravin

Er, it landed last week and broke everything :) It seems to have been improved now, though.
2. Other missing things? Test cases availabiltiy
Yeah, I'm not sure exactly what we need/want to test here?

You can file a trac ticket for the Test Day event creation stuff in the usual way, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/Create%C2%A0.

Sure, as you suggested once get useful test case.

- During an upgrade from f23, one should not lose the locales, all locales should be installed by default (glibc-all-langpacks should get installed by default) - glibc-all-langpacks should contain /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive, therefore, when using a locale only that archive file should be opened (fewer stats, slightly faster then using locales from folders). - after upgrading it should be possible to install any one of the individual langpacks like glibc-langpack-en (or even glibc-minimal-langpack) and then remove glibc-all-langpacks to get only a small list of locales and save disk space. glibc-minimal-langpack is just a dummy package fulfilling the requirement to have the meta package "glib-langpack" installed but it contains no locales at all, so only C/POSIX locales are left when only glibc-minimal-langpack is installed. - "dnf install langpacks-<language code>" (e.g. "dnf install langpacks-de") should automatically install the suitable glibc-langpack-??. I.e. "dnf install langpacks-de" should also install glibc-langpack-de, "dnf install langpacks-zh_TW" should also install glibc-langpack-zh.

Maybe it is enough to add the glibc locale sub-packaging as another thing to test to the regular i18n test day?
