I am not expert in X11 locale, but quick look on half-year old setup XFree86-4.1.0's X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.aliases shown that ja_JP.eucJP is prefered name and ja_JP.EUC is preserved there for compatibility. As conclusion I may suggest to fix ports. But since many things named ja_JP.EUC are placed to distfiles (as far as I could see from quick look to your list) and these ports are supposed to be usable at pre-4.5 -STABLE also I would suggest to setup compability (symbolic?) link between old EUC and new eucXX directories/files. Should it be enough to satisfy everybody ? NOTE: Don't do it now, please because if I get at least few requests to backout *EUC to *euc* rename it will be backed out. > # I attached the list of ports which use "ja_JP.EUC" locale name. > > > Please make clear the following points. > > o schedule to 4.5-RELEASE > > According to http://www.FreeBSD.org/internal/releng45.html, > Final package build for 4.5-RELEASE starts at 17 Jan 2002. > I think we need more time to fix the ports (discuss how to > fix, fix, test, ...). > > o Possibility of backout > I've heard that there's a possibility of backout. > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
