Bug 133040 – Outdated handbook

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: [OLD] Docs on www.gentoo.org

[Description Jimi A. 2006-05-11 09:35:05 UTC]

The installation manual for x86 systems references the userlocales flag, which happens to be deprecated.

Have the responsibilities of the flag been passed on to glibc, or is there an alternate process required?

That is for an unstable version of glibc. If this or later revisions are marked stable while still retaining locale-gen, then the handbook will be updated.

Marked as LATER, at least for the x86 handbook. Other arches have a wide variety of stable glibc versions. Right now, the new 2.4 version that uses locale-gen is only available for 3 arches.

Does this mean that the unstable version is currently unusable, or that all locales will simply be compiled?

Reopening for a sec...

Updated the bug so it shows up right in our lists.

From RESO LATER to RESO FIXED, as it was taken care of.
