Not for Debian. (Ubuntu does install almost all locales. Debian installs nothing unless you request during the install.) We could configure system only with, e.g.: * ja_JP.UTF-8 (If you chose) * en_GB.UTF-8 (If you chose) * C.UTF-8 (Always available in the new Debian jessie) * C (Always available) So in old days, minimal Debian system was C only. For server, that's enough :-) In order to cope with UTF data, the upcoming Debian ships C.UTF-8 locale data in locales-bin package which is REQUIRED package. (In Debian, REQUIRED packages are very small set.) > default but a little users could try to install without en_US.UTF-8. > Do we still need to consider that case? Probably but this C.UTF-8 locales is new thing. So I can not predict how it evolves. I heard FEDORA now ships C.UTF-8. If that is the case, this is good way to take advantage. Ubuntu should have C.UTF-8 soon. > I think the purpose might be to reduce the disc size but nowadays the storage > is big. Debian now has locales-all package which offers all locales. But this is just optional package. This is more to do with history than anything else now. > As you know, the current ibus master can avoid the SEGV without en_US.UTF-8. > And my concern is that C locale is not English and we'd need the English IME > and XKB descriptions on UI. > I'm not sure but C might be better than C.UTF-8 in non-Linux. On system without C.UTF-8, simple C may break things, I guess. That kind of concern was the driver to have C.UTF-8. Debian used to create this C.UTF-8 for its installer system environment. But now it extended availability of C.UTF-8 to all installations. > I thought 'env LANG=C ibus-setup' if en_US.UTF-8 is not installed. and no LANG value is set by PAM. > If your patch is important for you, we will integrate it in ibus. No rush since I already patched the Debian package but if FEDORA situation is the same, why not?
