To: ports and Cc: i18n.
As the result of recent discussion in i18n ML, FreeBSD-current
supports new locale names (*1) in addition to the old ones (*2).
In the future, FreeBSD will support new locale names only.
*1: *.ISO*, ja_JP.eucJP, ko_KR.eucKR, ...
*2: *.ISO_*, ja_JP.EUC, ko_KR.EUC, ...
As the X I18N, locale-specific resouce files should be installed
into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<LocaleName>/app-defaults/.
I found that some ports and packages (for example, x11-clocks/emiclock)
install resource files into
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<OldLocaleName>/app-defaults/.
FreeBSD Ports Collections supports both -current and -stable version
of FreeBSD. So, I think locale-specific resouce files should be
installed into BOTH
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<OldLocaleName>/app-defaults/
and
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<NewLocaleName>/app-defaults/
during the transition period of locale name changes. I made the
following plans:
Plan A.
1. make both old (*3) and new (*4) resouce directory.
2. install local-specific resouce file into new directory.
3. ln -s <newdir>/resourcefile <olddir>/resourcefile
bad point : ?
Plan B.
1. make a new resource directory (*3).
2. install local-specific resource file into new directory.
3. old resource directory (*4) is a symlink to new one (*3).
bad point : There's many FreeBSD boxes which already have
old resource directory.
------
*3 : /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<NewLocaleName>/app-defaults/
*4 : /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/<OldLocaleName>/app-defaults/
------
I think plan A is better than plan B. Any comments?
