To strip docs and locales from Fedora 10, I successfully use this:

%packages --excludedocs --instLangs=en_GB.utf8:en_US.utf8


... and this:

%post
localedef --list-archive | grep -v -i -E 'en_GB.utf8|en_US.utf8' | 
       xargs localedef --delete-from-archive
mv /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive.tmpl
/usr/sbin/build-locale-archive



If the %post script looks like a hack, that's because it is. It is the
least ugly solution I found to fight against the "all locales at any
cost" current policy.

Cheers,

Marc
