Hey, i'm porting an app that has about 500k of locale data. Is there any facility for optifying the locales?

There is no specific support for optifying locale data, but hopefully the general maemo-optify script will do a good job also for locale data. Just give it a try and review the created package.

To try out the maemo-optify script, install the "maemo-optify" package from extras-devel, and run it like so:

This will optify foo_1.2.3_all.deb in place. Then look at the result:

If the result is not good enough, you can do the optification 'by hand', maybe.

You can also give us a link to the package and I will have a look if maybe maemo-optify can be improved to handle locale data better by default.
