[arch-general] Is /etc/locale.conf optional in the last upgrade?

2011-10-23 Thread Ricardo Catalinas Jiménez
I did a system upgrade. So /etc/locale.conf is optional, right? I just create it if necessary, but it is not created by default, isn't it? And if I understand correctly, LOCALE is been used as always from /etc/rc.conf if /etc/locale.conf doesn't exist, does it? Thanks in advance, regards. --

[arch-general] What's wrong with the xorg-apps packages group?

2011-10-23 Thread Ricardo Catalinas Jiménez
Hi, With the command `pacman -Qm' it shows me `xorg-apps' as a foreign package, but this doesn't happen with other groups I have installed like `texlive-lang'. What makes different to `xorg-apps'? Just curious... Regards -- Ricardo (http://r.untroubled.be/)
