Then the user pb changed this to LANG=langcode 2002-01-07. This obviously triggered the warning from perl, and blade changed this to LANG_INST=langcode 2002-02-10. There seem to be some confusion. Why was LANGUAGE= changed to LANG=? Mistakenly. Feel free to change it back. Which program is the intended receiver of this value? base-config, primarily. I suggest setting something like this. I'll have to investigate some more to find out where to tell debootstrap to install locale. Recent debootstraps have some option that allows you to specify extra packages. Remember that for non-latin languages you will probably have to pull in some kind of terminal program as well, e.g. kon2 for Kanji, or the resulting translations will be unusable. Another thing I noticed was that the code i boot-floopies seem to assume non-utf-8 is english, and that all translations is using utf-8. Is this correct? Should the default locale support utf-8 instead of my suggested ISO-8859-1? UTF-8 is only used inside boot-floppies itself. I don't think we can really claim that woody is UTF-8 ready out of the box, given the issues with things like slang, so it doesn't seem worth even making it an option to use that as the default character set. Just hardcoding ISO-8859-1 doesn't seem like a good idea though, unless this is just a placeholder that never really does anything. There are several supported languages that use different characters, both other iso-8859-? variants and completely unrelated charsets like EUC-JP. BTW: the latest debootstrap fail to build on arm and m68k. MAKEDEV do not know 'usb'. Check buildd logs for details. I built the arm one by hand and it worked. I guess the build-depend on makedev wasn't stringent enough or something of the sort. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Language and locale setting in /root/dbootstrap_setting (patch)
[Eduard Bloch]
I tried this a while ago to install locales. It is broken since I do
not allocate the string memory correctly, but the basic idea is
clear.
I combined and corrected your patch. Here is a better suggestion.
I'm not sure if the question should be presented at all. If it is
needed to get the translations working, it should be installed.
I'm missing the generation step. I'm not sure where to add it. After
debootstrap is finished, /etc/locale.gen must be checked/edited, and
/usr/sbin/locale-gen must be executed. A problem here is the fact
that locale.gen want 'en_US ISO-8859-1', not 'en_US.ISO-8859-1'.
Hopefully it is enough to replace '.' with ' ', but I'm not that
familiar with the special cases of locale-gen. :-/

Re: Language and locale setting in /root/dbootstrap_setting
[Phil Blundell] Some of the language definition files (e.g. german, which I guess Eduard was using) just set -locale to the language code. It does seem like these are in error. Also, if we can make LANG come out right, I don't think there is any need to set LANGUAGE at all. So, to summarise, I think we should: I would say it is good to pass the msgcat language code on to base-config/libc/gettext.
