Hi,
from my recent emails you have probably guessed that I am jumping from
a debian system (have been GNU/Linux user for about ten years) into
the -wonderful- world of o'bsd (4.0) on an i386.
I am using for that the man pages, the absolute o'bsd book (which is
strangely nice to read, i would have never thought anything like that
of an informatics book) and the unofficial faqs.
I am almost done with the migration and very happy. I "still" have to
understand _correctly_ pf, of course.
However there's something that annoys me a lot: locale
In my zshrc I have set
export LC_NUMERIC=C
export LC_ALL=ca_ES.ISO8859-1
export LC_CTYPE=ca_ES.ISO8859-1
This worked perfectly on the debian system
My mother tongue is Catalan and I would like my system to be set up to
that language. It seems that for instance "date" is not behaving the
way I would like (it's in English) and also perl is complaining all
the time:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
melanos| perl -v
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LC_ALL = "ca_ES.ISO8859-1",
LC_NUMERIC = "C",
LC_CTYPE = "ca_ES.ISO8859-1",
LANG = "ca_ES.ISO8859-1"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i386-openbsd
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is very annoying because a number of things a written in perl;
e.g. pkg_add, etc
If I have a look at /usr/share/locale I find
melanos| ls /usr/share/locale | grep ca
ca_ES.ISO8859-1
ca_ES.ISO8859-15
I.e. they *exist*
Now; on a debian system I'd do the following:
dpkg-reconfigure localeconf and then als root set-language-env -E, or
something similar
What should I do in o'bsd? Any hint?
The gnome X enviroment recognizes my /etc/profile though, which is set to
export LANG=ca_ES.ISO8859-15
All X programmes are in Catalan...
But I need the terminal in Catalan!
I have thousands of scripts which I'd have to modify because the
output of things like date are now different...
Thanks,
Pau
