Hello!
I am now dealing with a package named 'gentoo'.
It installs following locale files:
/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/gentoo.mo
/usr/share/locale/es_MX/LC_MESSAGES/gentoo.mo
/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/gentoo.mo
/usr/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/gentoo.mo
/usr/share/locale/ja_JP.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/gentoo.mo
/usr/share/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/gentoo.mo
/usr/share/locale/ru_RU.CP1251/LC_MESSAGES/gentoo.mo
/usr/share/locale/ru_RU.KOI8-R/LC_MESSAGES/gentoo.mo
/usr/share/locale/ru_RU.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/gentoo.mo
/usr/share/locale/ru_RU.cp1251/LC_MESSAGES/gentoo.mo
/usr/share/locale/ru_RU.koi8r/LC_MESSAGES/gentoo.mo
/usr/share/locale/ru_RU.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/gentoo.mo
/usr/share/locale/sv/LC_MESSAGES/gentoo.mo
There are some issues here:
1. Directories like /usr/share/locale/ru_RU.* are not provided by any
package. This conflicts with guidelines.
2. /usr/share/locale/ru_RU.utf8 and /usr/share/locale/ru_RU.UTF-8/ are
obvious duplicates.
3. /usr/share/locale/ru_RU.UTF-8/ should be identical with
/usr/share/locale/ru/, /usr/share/locale/ja_JP.UTF-8/ should be
identical with /usr/share/locale/ja/ .
Which is the proper way to solve these issues?

Hi Robin,
I'm sure a peek into
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Handling_Locale_Files
will definitely help you.

This guideline does not talk about the question I am asking.

I think the guidelines Felix mentioned will simply
locate the locale files and make sure they end up on
the %files list, so the package will be complete, but
they do not address the issue of whether the location is
compatible with the Fedora standard layout guidelines.

file a bug against the filesystem package because it should provide a
proper skeleton for the locales.

We assume UTF-8 by default, so I guess you can kill the folders
with .UTF-8. Disclaimer: I'm not sure about local peculiarities though.

Ok, I have to correct my previous statement. No need to file a bug
because these directories should not be there.

No, it's this package (gentoo) which is broken. gettext automatically
recodes text, so it makes no sense whatsoever to provide separate
translations in multiple encodings.

I'd suggest:
mv %{_buildroot}%{_datadir}/locale/es_MX %{_buildroot}%{_datadir}/locale/es
if they don't provide a separate es(_ES) translation. Mexican Spanish is not
so different from Castillian Spanish that it can't be understood.
/usr/share/locale/ja_JP.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/gentoo.mo
mv %{_buildroot}%{_datadir}/locale/ja_JP.UTF-8 \
%{_buildroot}%{_datadir}/locale/ja
UTF-8 is the default encoding, this should be the default translation for
ja.
/usr/share/locale/ru_RU.CP1251/LC_MESSAGES/gentoo.mo
/usr/share/locale/ru_RU.KOI8-R/LC_MESSAGES/gentoo.mo
/usr/share/locale/ru_RU.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/gentoo.mo
/usr/share/locale/ru_RU.cp1251/LC_MESSAGES/gentoo.mo
/usr/share/locale/ru_RU.koi8r/LC_MESSAGES/gentoo.mo
/usr/share/locale/ru_RU.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/gentoo.mo
mv %{_buildroot}%{_datadir}/locale/ru_RU.UTF-8 \
%{_buildroot}%{_datadir}/locale/ru
rm -rf %{_buildroot}%{_datadir}/locale/ru_RU.*
Again, UTF-8 is the default, and gettext automatically recodes messages if
needed, so it makes no sense to install all these variants.

And I found the translations included in gentoo even do not actually
function. You will run the same English version with "LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8"
or "LANG=ja_jp.UTF-8" or what so ever. I have forwarded all these issues
upstream. In the latest build, I suppressed the traslations from building.
And so, I may hope for a guideline which talks about proper locale names.
Cheers!
