phantom> I've just MFCed following several locale renames Sigh. Japanese locale name, ja_JP.eucJP, and tcsh problem is *not yet* solved. Release engineers, why you allow to do that? I cannot believe that this change is MFCed; ache, the man who changed the locale name in 5-current, what do you think about this MFC? Tcsh have a feature that it does set 'dspmbyte' variable if and only if locale name is "ja_JP.EUC" (string match is performed) or other Chinese, Japanese, and Korean locales. Now the locale name was changed; we've miss the feature. Of course, 5-current tcsh is broken also. A patch to fix this problem was already submitted to the tcsh author IIRC, but it works only for 5-current. Maybe new patch will be submitted to the author ASAP, but... Phantom, would you please: 1a) check if tcsh repository was modified to fix this problem, 1b) make a request to the tcsh author to incorporate that fix if not yet, 2) import a fixed tcsh source to FreeBSD repository, 3) and send a HEADSUP to current@FreeBSD.org and stable@FreeBSD.org about all tcsh-and-locale problems are gone away. phantom> In case if you'll experience any problems in locale specific phantom> areas please notice me immidiately.

All shims does nothing to this problem, since tcsh compares current LANG variable string and 'ja_JP.EUC' string, yes, just a string match. -- - Makoto `MAR' Matsushita To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
