Dale, why are you setting all those values yourself? As far as I know, the |
| 19 |
only one you need to set is the first one: LANG. The rest of them should all |
| 20 |
be taken care of by portage - unless you have very particular (i.e. special) |
| 21 |
requirements. I don't have any of those values set anywhere; look: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
$ grep -r LC_ /etc |
| 24 |
/etc/init.d/hwclock: if LC_ALL=C hwclock --help 2>&1 | grep -q |
| 25 |
"\-\-noadjfile"; then |
| 26 |
/etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-apps/busybox-1.21.0:# CONFIG_FEATURE_IPCALC_FANCY |
| 27 |
is not set |
| 28 |
/etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-apps/busybox-1.21.0:# |
| 29 |
CONFIG_FEATURE_IPCALC_LONG_OPTIONS is not set |
| 30 |
/etc/ssh/ssh_config:SendEnv LANG LC_* |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
This is my /etc/locale.gen: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8 |
| 35 |
en_GB ISO-8859-1 |
| 36 |
en_GB.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15 |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I don't remember why I still have those last two entries; I expect they date |
| 39 |
from before Gentoo adopted UTF-8. Maybe I'll remove them and see what happens. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
It's an easy trap to fall into: over-specifying details just because Gentoo |
| 42 |
lets you do so, in contrast to other distros. |

KISS :) |
