[Bug 1394929] Re: [FFe]Please provide 'locales-all' as in Debian

[Adam Conrad]

14:28 <infinity> Breaks loops are pretty friendly (compared to Conflicts loops), they just both deconfigure, both upgrade, and both configure.
14:28 <infinity> I tested from 2.21, and it went fine, I can't see why it would be worse from older  versions.
14:29 <infinity> (The libc->Breaks locales relationship is standard in the Debian packaging to make sure the tools match libc, I was just adding it back)

Title:
  [FFe]Please provide 'locales-all' as in Debian

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in langpack-locales package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Repurposing this bug as a Feature Freeze exception request to merge
  langpack-locales into glibc, and make locales-all available in the
  process.  Working on getting that all done and properly tested by
  tonight, but if this doesn't make it, it'll happen in early 16.10
  instead.

  [Original Report]
  Hi,

  Debian provides a 'locales-all' package, which is very convenient to
  ensure all locales are available, and installs very quickly.

  It's particularly handy when providing i18n'd web applications (e.g. that use php-gettext).
  As they may be accessed by visitors of all supported languages, rather than documenting how the server administrator should enable a list of 10-15 languages by reconfiguring 'locales', the packager can just add 'locales-all' to the Recommends or Depends.
  See for instance the FusionForge package in Debian (https://packages.debian.org/jessie/gforge-web-apache2).

  Cheers!
  Sylvain
