I strongly recommend developers of i18n-related applications to to dump their FreeBSD installation asap and get a Red Hat, SuSE or Debian distribution installed instead, all of which are based on glibc 2.2 and have not only state-of-the-art locale support but lot of other goodies. I can think of no good reason today to stick with FreeBSD's antique C library and it seems not on the horizon that the FreeBSD community will also move to glibc any time soon. At this point, the use of FreeBSD becomes really counterproductive. Portable programming becomes now routinely hindered by the argument that this and that nice X/Open, C99, etc. feature is available on any major Unix except for FreeBSD. The occasional FreeBSD user that I still run into usually has this fundamental belief or idea that there is something inherently better about the BSD kernel than Linux. There is this ideologic notion that BSD is nicely structured, clean and academic, whereas Linux is an ugly dirty hack, a notion that originated from the earliest history of Linux almost a decade ago. But when challenged to back this up with any data, the FreeBSD folks I know quickly admit that they actually haven't compared the systems for several years at least and are unaware of the incredible amount of work that was put into Linux in the mean time (repeated complete clean and nice rewrites of very major subsystems like the networking stack, etc.) [Warning: my praise for the Linux kernel excludes the control function parser of the console driver ;-] > You are probably going to suggest I install Linux instead... The advantage of Linux is that it has managed to become a major standard platform, second only to M$-Windows.

It is possible (via symlinks) but I don't think it is good idea, even for transition period. If we preserve compatibility, people never change their environment LANG variables, so programs which parse LANG directly will be in trouble since in each and every such programs we need to add both variants. So there is no advantage of using new scheme since old scheme must be coded each time too. We already have too many locale changes in -current to make it is already incompatible with 4.3 locale, so yet one incompatible change don't play role here. -- Andrey A.

Transition period means just delay whole thing until transition period end. After the end the same thing happens like without transition period, because people don't touch their setups when they works, so you can consider that transition period ends now. -- Andrey A.

Remember this is for -current only and not planned to be merged to -stable so you have _big_ transition period until 5.0 will be released. -- Andrey A.

If so, why both ru_SU.* and ru_RU.* co-exist in 4-stable? We took a long time for transition from ru_SU to ru_RU. 3-stable branch (all 3.*-RELEASE) : ru_RU.* only 4-stable branch (all 4.*-RELEASE) : ru_RU.* and ru_SU.* 5-current branch (5.*-RELEASE ?) : ru_SU.* only I think immediate transition (even in -current) is a bad idea. I propose the following plan. 5-current (5-stable after 5.0-RELEASE) branch : both old and new locale future 6-currnt branch : only new locale -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Motoyuki Konno motoyuki@bsdclub.org (Home) motoyuki@FreeBSD.ORG (FreeBSD Project) http://www.freebsd.org/~motoyuki/ (WWW) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-i18n" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-i18n Sat Jun 2 17:53:53 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-i18n@freebsd.org Received: from mail.mk.bsdclub.org (adsl2049.ea.rim.or.jp [202.247.148.49]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6E9B437B423; Sat, 2 Jun 2001 17:53:49 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from motoyuki@mk.bsdclub.org) Received: from sakura.mk.bsdclub.org (sakura.mk.bsdclub.org [3ffe:505:2022:0:2a0:c9ff:fe20:9aff]) by mail.mk.bsdclub.org (8.11.3+3.4W/3.7W/smtpfeed 1.12) with ESMTP/inet6 id f530rmW95306; Sun, 3 Jun 2001 09:53:48 +0900 (JST) Received: from sakura.mk.bsdclub.org (localhost.mk.bsdclub.org [127.0.0.1]) by sakura.mk.bsdclub.org (8.11.3/3.7W) with ESMTP/inet id f530rm284206; Sun, 3 Jun 2001 09:53:48 +0900 (JST) Message-Id: <200106030053.f530rm284206@sakura.mk.bsdclub.org> To: Motoyuki Konno Cc: "Andrey A.
