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//app-defaults/. I found that some ports and packages (for example, x11-clocks/emiclock) install resource files into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11//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//app-defaults/ and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11//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 /resourcefile /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//app-defaults/ *4 : /usr/X11R6/lib/X11//app-defaults/ ------ I think plan A is better than plan B.
