Bug 140098 – docs need an update for glibc 2.4 (locale.gen)

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

[Description Łukasz Damentko (RETIRED) 2006-07-12 04:39:44 UTC]

glibc 3.4 is now in ~x86, so about 60% percent of our users use it. It doesn't use "userlocales" USE flag anymore, and doesn't look at the /etc/locales.build file at all - using /etc/locale.gen instead.

We need to update all our docs to include instructions for both <glibc-3.4 and >glibc-3.4 versions and later on, when 3.4 goes stable, remove <glibc-3.4 information.

Docs that need such an update:
/doc/en/guide-localization.xml
/doc/en/utf-8.xml
/doc/en/handbook/hb-install-system.xmk

glibc 2.4 of course.

mmm not quite ... locale.gen is in glibc-2.3.6-r4 which is stable for most arches now

[Comment 3 Łukasz Damentko (RETIRED) 2006-07-12 21:31:33 UTC]

Great, so we drop locales.build everywhere and add locale-gen info. Patches soon. :-)
