@symen maybe you can add your hook to the arch wiki so other people can make use of it?

I would love to see this feature in. The code to be reviewed is this one? https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/localepurge.git/tree/usr/sbin/localepurge?id=1d18c4b710154b9188116d9d85779d1f613a77b5 Plus your patch, right?

That's a good idea, but if there's a bug in localepurge, the hook could cause a "delayed disaster", difficult to diagnose and debug... I agree to include the hook only if we take the time to review the full code of localepurge and my diff.

A new feature (hooks) in pacman 5.0 (freshly released) would allow localepurge to run after each install/update containing locales. I quickly wrote a hook file that seems to work fine (but may spit too much output): https://gist.github.com/simonbru/2373a968be3cf67b4ed6 Do you plan to bundle a similar hook with localepurge ? I think this would make localepurge much nicer to use, but I don't know if this should be bundled with localepurge or installed as an additional package.

This makes a difference in disk's utilisation Thanks a lot hcartiaux for adopting it!

I had to recreate the patch localepurge.config.diff. I've tested and it should be ok, you can read my diff here: https://github.com/hcartiaux/archlinux-packages

I adopt (unexpectedly) this package because I use it on 5 archlinux systems and ~ 100 small debian servers ;)

@eworm and Fred: Fixed, many thanks.

Just replace : install -D -m755 ${srcdir}/${pkgname}/usr/sbin/localepurge ${pkgdir}/usr/sbin/localepurge by install -D -m755 ${srcdir}/${pkgname}/usr/sbin/localepurge ${pkgdir}/usr/bin/localepurge And install -D -m755 ${srcdir}/${pkgname}/debian/localepurge.config ${pkgdir}/usr/sbin/localepurge.config by install -D -m755 ${srcdir}/${pkgname}/debian/localepurge.config ${pkgdir}/usr/bin/localepurge.config
