Well, up to date supported locales list is in glibc, particularly: - as comments in glibc.spec (for locales already handled in some way in PLD) - in /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED file (locales supported by glibc) We don't artificially drop some locale just because it's "unlikely to be used". > > on what environment it fails to build?

(TH 64) So far (glibc 2.13, I haven't checked 2.14), Tamil (ta) is supported only or India (LANG=ta_IN). -- Jakub Bogusz http://qboosh.pl/ _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
