We basically agree to include locales fixes in the glibc if corresponding native speakers agree with the changes, or in other words in case of doubts we will ask on the l10n/i18n lists. The main problem we face is that, as far as I know, since Denis left Debian, nobody has really the knowledge to do maintain the locales part of the glibc. Somebody with such knowledge will be really welcome in the team. > An argument to keep belocs was that glibc is usually frozen very early > and it then becomes hard to add new locales. > > If belocs is abandoned, we should maybe ask for freeze exceptions to > add new locales in glibc for the lenny freeze stage. That would be a good idea. Anyway we already asked the release team to reconsider the way the glibc is frozen for lenny. -- .''`.
