@m040601 There's a bug report here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1019494
Until it's fixed upstream, a simple sed replacement is enough to fix it locally:
Would be nice to have it built into the script, though :)

This is a usefull tool, and as far as I know the only one of it's kind in the AUR.
As of September 2022, GNU has updated "grep" deprecating the use of "egrep" and "fgrep".
Since this tool, "localepurge" is basically written as a bash script making use of those commands, in /usr/bin/localepurge
You now get this warning/error message when running "localepurge"
So this probably needs to be reported to the,

NICE! Was just looking to remove them all by hand but started a search if that was possible and found this so I saved s lot of time.

Hi! Is there any chance for the URL change? As others mentioned previously it's broken atm. Regards

Note that 0.7.3.8 is now 404ed in favor of 0.7.3.10, however arch-patches would have to be updated for this version first. You can still get the previous version by changing the PKGBUILD source to http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20190901T090537Z/pool/main/l/localepurge/localepurge_0.7.3.8.tar.xz
I second the idea of Ruben for a script to simplify transition, however - if I understand correctly - this can only replace a part of localepurge since it will not remove locales from already installed packages and is as such not able to instantly free up space.

I think we should remove this package, for discussed reasons.
But a simple script replacement would be nice, which starts once after installation/update and which will automatically generate the NoExtract rules based on your
/etc/locale.conf
and add anInclude
in thepacman.conf
to the generatedNoExtract
rules-file.This would allow rewriting this config file when there are new paths or new locales added/removed.

As a simple basic user, localepurge is far more convenient and I am glad to use it. I went to see how to use NoExtract : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Tips_and_tricks#Installing_only_content_in_required_languages All I see is an far more complicated way to configure. And no clue about how to keep multiple locale. And a Warning advising against. On another side, localepurge use the same simple syntax as locale.gen ...

I’ll remove it, but I would like to find a place in the wiki for the NoExtract rules to use instead of it.
