Request: An option to install only the locales we need

Thanks for sharing.
My procedure only shaves a couple minutes off when locales are upgraded.

I got a tip from one of the devs. Install the locales-all package and you won't get the update locales anymore.

@b3ta Feel free to provide a patch to review, code is here: https://github.com/gazelle-installer/ga ... ree/trixie
(fun fact: that's how I ended up on the dev team)

I seriously considered it until I had a look and saw it's in C++, as I gave up on C++ in the 90s. For now I'll stick with the post-install, scripted approach.

I can't read your post very well without straining myself because of your colors and formatting, this is unnecessary and makes your posts exceptionally hard to read. If you want to make your posts easy to read for all users, just avoid the fancy colors altogether. It would take me a while to decipher that post, so sorry if I am not addressing the whole thing.

That's mostly the point I was making.

What I try to achieve is to show the distinction between prose and code when it's in-line, just as one uses the code tags to show code in blocks which breaks the text. Without that being available, I'm left with modifying the font (a lot of work) or the colour (less work). The trick is to find a colour which pleases most people.

Thanks for the info.
