Re: Locale data
[João Carlos Mendes Luís, 2004-07-12] Shouldn't the locale select the best charset if it is not defined? I have problems with this in third party applications. They just set locale as pt_BR and dont give me a choice of adding a charset extension. What should I do? Is this a FreeBSD bug? [Svein Halvor Halvorsen] Try making a symlink from pt_BR.ISO8859-1 to pt_BR in /usr/share/locale [João Carlos Mendes Luís, 2004-07-13] This would probably solve my problem, but I'd like to know what is the expected behaviour. If FreeBSD is right, I'll try to fix the application. I'm not sure I understand what you mean with expected behaviour. In FreeBSD you need to include the character set in your locale string. This is not a bug, but I believe by design. Whether this is conform to somebodys expectations or not, I'm not sure. I don't think it is a violation of any standards, however. But I might be mistaken. To make some program work, that has a locale string hard coded, you might need to make the symlink as described in my previous mail. /sve ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Locale data
Hi, I'm not sure what should be the right behavior. If I do not select a locale charset, strftime does not work right. FreeBSD 4.10: minerva::root locale [2445] LC_ALL=en_US date +%x 07/12/04 minerva::root locale [2446] LC_ALL=pt_BR date +%x 07/12/04 minerva::root locale [2447] LC_ALL=pt_BR.ISO8859-1 date +%x 12/07/2004 minerva::root locale [2448] Linux: cerbero::root jonny [1010] LC_ALL=en_US date +%x 07/12/2004 cerbero::root jonny [1011] LC_ALL=pt_BR date +%x 12-07-2004 cerbero::root jonny [1012] LC_ALL=pt_BR.ISO8859-1 date +%x 12-07-2004 cerbero::root jonny [1013] (Note that / is the right separator, Linux is buggy in this aspect) Shouldn't the locale select the best charset if it is not defined?
