I'm just re-reading chapter 7 while I reorganise my own buildscripts to cope with systemd OR udev-sysvinit OR eudev-sysvinit, and was skipping over "The Bash Shell Startup Files" because it is for all build variants when down at the bottom I noticed:
UTF-8 based locales are not supported well by many programs. Work is in progress to document and, if possible, fix such problems, see http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/introduction/locale-issues.html. Now, certainly there appear to be problems with _some_ programs (unless that page in BLFS is totally out of date), but I think we have long left behind the stage where _many_ programs (or at least many of the common ones) do not support UTF-8 well. Or maybe I'm unaware of problems that people are still seeing, particularly in programs beyond-BLFS ? So, I'm suggesting s/many/some/ ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
