Do you just need support for the encodings (via iconv or whatever) or
do you need the actual locales to be present on the system?
LC_* environment variables and lc_* postgresql.conf settings. At
least, it affects collations.
Hmmm… we don't have cp1251 support at present. We do have have
koi8-r, and I'm happy to leave that alone if it is needed. (Notably
I don't think we ever bothered with koi8-u.) Do any of these
projects run on illumos?
No, and I think would not. Some years ago I have managed this system on
the Solaris 10, but now I prefer other OSes.
I'm thinking UTF-8 ought to be sufficient, but I confess I'm not sure
I understand why the encoding would matter at all for the login
locale -- except perhaps you might be interfacing with systems via
e.g. telnet or ssh, which don't support UTF-8 but have a legacy
locale. (Are such concerns still relevant?)
I use utf-8 everywhere in the interactive shell. But some server
software can't use multibyte locales.
Yes, its a good point. Admittedly that software is broken, as some
locales cannot be expressed in a single byte. :-)
That software do its job well, and I prefer to replace an OS instead of
rewrite large application.
