Hi, |
| 2 |
|

Building 400~ locales is not fun on mips when building stages. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
No user has a need for more than some small subset of the total |
| 6 |
available locales. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I filed bug [1] to request the ability to select locales in catalyst |
| 9 |
spec files, but no responses after six months -- which is totally |
| 10 |
typical of catalyst bugs. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I commented in bug [2] suggesting that we perhaps reduce the default |
| 13 |
locale.gen to only 'en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8' or some other limited subset. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
The default subset should be sufficient for a large number of users, |
| 16 |
and users whose locales aren't shipped by default would simply be able |
| 17 |
to edit /etc/locale.gen (which I'm sure almost everyone does anyway) |
| 18 |
to select their desired locale and then run locale-gen to generate it |
| 19 |
and remove unwanted locales. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Please provide feedback. I'd love to get this resolved one way or another. |

Thanks, |
