I did recommend installing only wanted locales, but that's a workaround 
for BLFS bug. The bug is that GDM chooses (not well supported) UTF-8 
locales in preference to non-UTF-8 ones if one selects a non-default 
language on the login screen. Since there will be a branch that adds 
some patches to address UTF-8 problems, this will become a non-issue for 
that branch.

 Thanks for the clarification.  I'll build with all locales.

Commit 6803 contains invalid char on commit log

Hi dev's,

FIY, the Subversion commit messages need always to be written either in
Unicode or plain ASCII, so svn log --xml can output valid XML data. So
please, setup your favorite editor to one of these encodings before
issuing a svn commit.

That said, the commit 6803 on the LFS repository broke the script that
generates log messages for the website, because of an non-Unicode char
on its commit message. You can reproduce the problem with this command:

svn log -r6803 --verbose --xml svn://svn.linuxfromscratch.org/LFS

Notice that the XML header says the content is in utf-8, but the content
itself contains the ü char (the uuml; HTML entity). That confuses the
XML::Parser module used on the script. As a workaround, I had to force
the script to always interpret its input as ISO-8859-1.

Thanks,
