Byrne --- (In reply to Carlos O'Donell from comment #8) > > User locales can be installed into two locations. Directly as files, where > they can be parsed, or installed into the locale archive to loaded directly > into every application for faster usage. > > The general problem is that distributions, at least in Fedora and RHEL, > overwrite the locale archive when glibc is upgraded. > > Either way, this is a Fedora or RHEL issue and not a generic upstream issue. > > At the very least we need: > > * localedef documentation. > * examples using localedef to install a locale to the locale archive. It there any technical reason why a local custom locale archives location could not be provided? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
