locales in OpenOffice.org 2.0pre

[Bill Nottingham]

Currently we ship the following localizations in OOo 2.0pre that
don't correspond to any glibc supported locale:

- eo
- kn-IN
- ns
- tn
- zu

Any reason to keep them?

Well, what's the equivalent locale in glibc?  And if its not supported in glibc, 
why isn't it supported there?

In any case, yes, we should probably drop them.

Not sure; I'd presume they'd map to the same locale name, if they
existed in glibc. Note that the package description is generic enough
to not really tell you what the locale *is* that they support. :)

sepedi and tswana, south african languages, if the rest of fedora
doesn't support them I guess it makes sense to drop them.

zu -> glibc zu_ZA south african zulu, and kn_IN -> glibc kn_IN indian
kannada, locale -a shows these two so we'll hold onto them I reckon.

The fact the langpacks worked at all overwhelmed me :-), I'll look into
changing the langpack names to match the glibc locale and adding
descriptions for what languages they provide.

hmm, there is no langpack-eo, perhaps typo for langpack-eu, which is
basque -> e.g. glibc eu_ES

openoffice.org-langpack-eo-1.9.82-1.i386.rpm

eu is already covered, and is in the comps file now.

'ns' isn't a registered iso 639-1 language code to my knowledge.

Looks like Sepedi is another name for Northern Sotho -
http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=SRT, which is
iso 639-2 "nso". (There is a GTK+ translation for nso)

AFAIK, OOo does not use 3-letter language codes...
