If it works as expected for other locale-sensitive applications (sorry I don't know the details of locale implementations), phantom> Leaving LANG=ja_JP.EUC is enough ? Maybe. But once a user knows ja_JP.eucJP locale and it works for other applications, the user falls to the pitfall. I think it is unacceptable behavior for -stable users. Can we put some comments to release notes? It would be something like that: * locale names are changed: blah blah blah... (maybe this entry will be appeared ASAP) - however, tcsh doesn't recognize that ja_JP.eucJP/ko_KR.eucKR locale requires multibyte support at this time. - if you are tcsh user and set LANG environment variable to ja_JP.eucJP/ko_KR.eucKR, 1) keep it as it used to be, or 2) change LANG to a new locale name, then put "set dspmbyte=euc" line to your ~/.tcshrc. Somebody want to argue that adding an entry to relnotes is not sufficient, but it's better than nothing. Changing tcsh code is desired, but it seems that we don't have a time to do that until 4.5-RELEASE is out. -- - Makoto `MAR' Matsushita To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
