Why don't we make 2.1 a real branch and use trunk for 2.2?

If there's a need to have immediate activity in the 2.2 branch then
we certainly should.  If not, it's just extra work to merge stuff
between
the two.

[gentoo-portage-dev] Perl, sort, and locale

2006-05-03 Thread felix
I doubt this is the right place to bring this up, but maybe some one
can tell me where to go :-)

I have discovered an inconsistency in how perl and sort handle locale.
Here are two commands you can run in a shell ...

(echo '/'; echo '?') | sort

(echo '/'; echo '?') | perl -e '@x = ; print $_ foreach sort @x'

With LANG=en_US.UTF-8, sort says ? comes before /, perl says the
opposite.  Setting LC_COLLATE=C switches the sort behavior.  I have no
idea what else changes or where else perl and sort disagree, or what
other programs do.

Seems like something is wrong, but I don't know what.  This happens on
other versions of Linux.  It is not a gentoo specific problem.

Yeah, this is definitely the wrong place, not really sure where the 
appropriate place for this is though. Probably a perl or coreutils 
related list/forum might help you.
