[Clfs-dev] Eglibc and Internationalization text

[William Harrington]

Greetings,

Is this still valid?

Some locales installed by the make localedata/install-locales command  
above are not properly supported by some applications that are in CLFS  
and CBLFS. Because of the various problems that arise due to  
application programmers making assumptions that break in such locales,  
CLFS should not be used in locales that utilize multibyte character  
sets (including UTF-8) or right-to-left writing order. Numerous  
unofficial and unstable patches are required to fix these problems,  
and it has been decided by the CLFS developers not to support such  
complex locales at this time. This applies to the ja_JP and fa_IR  
locales as well—they have been installed only for GCC and Gettext  
tests to pass, and the watch program (part of the Procps package) does  
not work properly in them. Various attempts to circumvent these  
restrictions are documented in internationalization-related hints.

I noticed that when I was upgrading systemd branch to procps-ng.

Do these still need to be installed for gettext and watch for procps-ng?

Sincerely,

William Harrington
