I believe you are talking about a diffe= rent project, maybe about some non-upstream patches for glibc. Of course, local= edef tool exists in order to allow the users build and use their own locales, ev= en without the root permissions. So you may have and use whatever locale you want. However, I'm trying here to avoid inflation of locales. The problem= is that each new locale, even if it source code is short and easy to implement, makes about 2 MB binaries. This multiplied by about 200 or 300 locales we currently provide may make a problem. Distros are already complaining abou= t it because the locale binaries take too much space both in installation media = and in the users' computers. Of course, en_EU will not work for everyone. Even if it works for 8 or 12 countries I'd be satisfied. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
