install_linguas using public feed for locale package install?

[Martin Jansa]

Today I noticed that with every do_rootfs I see few downloads from my
webserver (where is DISTRO_FEED_URI pointing).

I guess it's because install_linguas from image.bbclass.

Is there some special reason why it's not used from deploy/ipk directly?
it's not problem here, but if public feed is not in sync with deploy/ipk
it can be IMHO pretty bad (locale .ipk cannot be found or different version).

BTW: that's probably the reason I didn't get any locales available
with last rebuild from scratch on shr buildhost (rsync to public feed
started manually after image build) resulting in:
http://git.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/commit/?id=e38c2c1286f25518770d6c668dc43939476f312d

This code was done in narcissus first, which and then copied to OE. The
difficulty here is that when this runs, the OE generated opkg.conf is
already gone. You can make it use the deploy/ipk feeds if you do the
install_lingua step earlier, or add a -f to point to a different config
file location.

Well, it keeps me honest :) It makes me notice public and private feed
discrepancies a lot faster. But I agree that requiring internet access
during do_rootfs is a bad thing.

OK, I'll send patch.

We sync after every build, but not between ie EFL upgrade and do_rootfs
of image, when EFL upgrade is built as part of image dependencies. So
we're also not so bad :).
