John, to enable the am_ET locale, we need a few glibc bugfixes from F8. Ulrich Drepper, the glibc maintainer, says a backport would be quite invasive and highly recommends updating instead. Additionally, until now glibc wasn't forked in OLPC-2.
I installed 2.6.90-17 and everything appears to work, but of course it would need more testing. So I propose we update glibc post Trial-3. If that's not acceptable, the alternatives I see are: 1) attempt a backport and fork glibc. That would give us a good excuse to enable the Geode optimizations too. 2) Leave Ethiopian as an unsopported language in FD1.0 and tell people to follow the procedure on the wiki to add it manually. -- \___/ |___| Bernardo Innocenti - http://www.codewiz.org/ \___\ One Laptop Per Child - http://www.laptop.org/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
