Package: locales Version: 2.11.2-7 Severity: wishlist Hi,
I think wheezy would be a good time to finally ditch non-UTF8 locales. IIRC, we made the switch to UTF8 by default in etch (and we were already way too late in doing that), and supporting non-UTF8 stuff becomes harder and harder, at least for desktop software. I think we should make it clear that legacy locales are not supported anymore. Maybe by dropping them entirely, maybe by just not proposing them by default. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages locales depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 [glibc-2.11-1] 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib locales recommends no packages. locales suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-glibc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
