Look at /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules . gconv (iconv(3)) uses this alias database, so 'windows-125x' is equal to 'cp125x'. But the problem is /etc/locale.gen . It uses cp125x. I want to know people is really willing to use 'windows-125x' instead of 'cp125x'. We do not change them without _real_ 'cp125x' user requests. IANA is not perfect. Do you know the real demand for changing it? > Suggestion: add appropriate `% alias WINDOWS-125x' lines to > /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/CP125* '%' means 'this line is comment'. Adding this line is trivial issue. -- gotom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
