Comment (by pulkomandy):
The userguide package was moved out of the Haiku git repository which
means it will not be updated at every update of Haiku now. So that's
already one part of the problem solved.
The other part is having Installer automatically unselect some packages on
installation. The idea is to have a situation where:
- On the release media, all versions of the userguide are available and
activated (so they are in /system/packages)
- Installer automatically skips them when installing, except the one
corresponding to the currently active languages, or english if none of the
active languages already have an userguide translation
- Should the other packages still be mentionned in Installer "optional
packages" list? This would make it clear what's happening and make it
possible to add more languages, or remove all languages if wanted (we
could consider offering a "minimal" option in Installer removing some
other things too).
The third item is probably the one that requires more work, the first two
shouldn't be too hard to do.
