Summary: glibc binary locale generation: no UTF-8 locales
generated
Product: Openembedded
Version: unspecified
Platform: ARM
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Build
AssignedTo: [email protected]

The binary locale tree that is generated by
localedef (using qemu) does not differentiate between UTF-8 and other
encodings. Because the ".UTF-8" part of a locale is stripped from
the locale name, if there are more than 1 encodings for a given
locale, it is overwritten each time. This results in only the last one
going into the packages and ending up on the target. Because the UTF-8
version of each locale is generated first, the UTF-8 locale will
never be in any package, contrary to the message in
glibc-package.bbclass, which states "Reshuffle names so that UTF-8 is
preferred over other encodings".
Linux distributions like Ubuntu solve this by adding a ".utf8" or ".UTF-8"
string to the locale name. Question is: can we safely solve it this way without
breaking locales?
