DEU/DE language in GLB packages

DEU/DE language in GLB packages

Postby Progman » 28.10.2013, 04:36

After checking all the files, my suggestion is to remove the DEU and DE from the following files and add a x86/x64 German option to the UI for Windows Vista/7/8/8.1 as otherwise those of us who want strict GLB end up downloading many extra megabytes or having to manually edit the releases:
StaticDownloadLinks-dotnet-x64-glb.txt
StaticDownloadLinks-dotnet-x86-glb.txt
StaticDownloadLinks-dotnet.txt
StaticDownloadLinks-msse-x64-glb.txt
StaticDownloadLinks-msse-x86-glb.txt
StaticDownloadLinks-w60-x64-5lg.txt
StaticDownloadLinks-w60-x64-glb.txt
StaticDownloadLinks-w60-x86-5lg.txt
StaticDownloadLinks-w60-x86-glb.txt
StaticDownloadLinks-w61-x64-glb.txt
StaticDownloadLinks-w61-x86-glb.txt

Thanks for providing this great free software and I do respect the convenience for allowing the language of the author to be downloadable but as this software matures, it might be more appropriate to separate it. :D

Just reading this now - I agree that German updates should properly be removed per default - although this would remove backwards compatibility.

I have posted viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4138 with a kind of a compromise solution that German updates are still included but easily removable with a script. Might be a first step forward for non-German users with a limited bandwidth.

@WSUSUpdateAdmin
What about writing the languages to download into a file read in by DownloadUpdates.cmd? This would make it easier to add new languages. Also it would fix the issue, that you need to rerun AddCustomLanguageSupport.cmd.

AddCustomLanguageSupport.cmd:
Writes the new language to .\wsusoffline\static\languages_to_include.txt.

RemoveCustomLanguageSupport.cmd:
Removes the language from .\wsusoffline\static\languages_to_include.txt.

DoUpdate.cmd:
Parses the file .\wsusoffline\static\languages_to_include.txt and downloads .\wsusoffline\static\StaticDownloadLinks-<product>-<arch>-glb.txt and the static links for the languages included in .\wsusoffline\static\languages_to_include.txt.
