this is more a whish ...
Sometime ago I was discussing with some friends about localization and we arrive to ask why not having all the locale settings configured in one place only.
I'll try to explain better...
I am italian. If I want to take advantage of everything the italian locale have to offer in FreeBSD I have to config a lot of files.
using a right terminal i.e: cons25l1
/etc/rc.conf: keymap="it.iso" font8x8="iso15-8x8" font8x14="iso15-8x14" font8x16="iso15-8x16"
~/.login_conf
me:\
:charset=iso-8859-15:\
:lang=it_IT.ISO8859-15:/etc/ttys put cons25i (or 30i) in the ttys line
while I can have a db (like pccard.conf i.e) that can be set to exec all this tasks in one shot:
vidcontrol -f 8x16 iso15-8x16.fnt kbdcontrol -l it.iso.kbd setenv LANG it_IT.ISO8859-15 setenv MM_CHARSET iso-8859-15 setenv TERM cons25l1
so in my /etc/rc.conf I can have i.e: locale=italy
and the during boot everything automagically is setup.
Thanks for attention.
