Description Alexander Potashev 2011-04-01 13:13:21 UTC 
The package kde-l10n supports a list of localization languages (LINGUAS), it contains "sr" for Serbian localization. But there are a few variants of Serbian localization. I think, it should be possible to install only one variant (for example, only sr@ijekavian) to save disk space.

The whole list of KDE localization variants:
be@latin, ca@valencia, sr@ijekavian, sr@ijekavianlatin, sr@latin, uz@cyrillic

Reproducible: Always

Not sure if we want to do this. After all they are in one tarball...
Comment 2 Alexander Potashev 2011-05-21 19:59:14 UTC 
Every new localization is ~1000 new files installed into /usr/share/locale/. I think, it's better to avoid such big number of unnecessary files.
Comment 3 Johannes Huber (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-10-10 23:58:24 UTC 
In my opinion this can only be resolved if upstream would package the variants seperatly. The only solution would be to disable the variants, but i think there many people who doesnt want to loose their variant speaking kde. 

Maybe a topic for next gentoo kde team meeting?
Comment 4 Johannes Huber (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-12-11 12:53:47 UTC 
We decided to stick with the upstream tarballs. If you want this realy happen, file a bug to kde.bugs.org that the variants released in seperate tarballs.
