[wpkg-users] Locale selector

[Malte Starostik]

Hi,

some installations like hotfixes need a locale-specific selection of what 
exactly to install.  Instead of writing a .cmd each time (or somehow using a 
global one), it would be quite nice to have any or all of these possibilities

A very flexible approach not only for locale branching:
<setenv cmd="setenv.cmd" /> where setenv.cmd outputs name=value pairs and 
wpkg.js provides those as env vars to subsequent scripts

A less flexible approach:
wpkg.js could provide the return value of its getLocale() function as %LOCALE% 
- still requires translating the value to e.g. ENU, DEU or whatever the 
specific package needs

Locale based branching right inside the package definitions:
<package ...>
  <locale lcid="0409">
    <install cmd="setup-english.exe" />
  </locale>
  <locale lcid="0407">
    <install cmd="setup-german.exe" />
  </locale>
  <locale lcid="default">
    <install cmd="setup-multilang.exe" />
  </locale>
</package>

Am I missing any such possibility that's still there?

Cheers,
Malte
