The proposed package installs two files per language in /usr/share/skype/lang. It works fine together with the current versions of available Skype clients for Linux, but there is a potential future issue: If a future version of the Skype client includes a translation in a language which is already installed via a skype-translation-* package, that translation won't be installed, since package files with the same names exist already. This is not the intention with skype-translation; its purpose is to provide translations that are not bundled with the Skype client.
My idea for a solution is to let skype-translation-* install the files somewhere else (in /usr/share/skype-translation) and put symlinks in /usr/share/skype/lang using maintainer scripts. That way, if a translation already installed by skype-translation-* is added to a future version of the Skype client, the symlinks will be overwritten, and the bundled translation will be used instead. Attached please find examples of the maintainer scripts I have in mind. ** Attachment added: "maint-scripts.tar.gz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1314402/+attachment/4110645/+files/maint-scripts.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314402 Title: Please upload skype-translation to the archive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1314402/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
