1 Sorry this comes out so late (I'm travelling at the moment), but... I'd like
2 to suggest the question of build log locales for discussion and decision.
3
4 Basically:
5 1) do we want to require english build logs in bugzilla (ie. non-english logs
6 make a bug invalid)?
7 2) do we want to make the build logs english by default (i.e. even if a locale
8 is set globally, the user would have to install a second override in e.g.
9 make.conf to obtain localized build logs)?
10 3) if yes to 2), which locale?
11
12 As for my personal opinion,
13 1) yes
14 2) yes
15 3) don't care as long as it is english, and I consider any build system that
16 fails depending on locale as br0ken and in need of fixing.
