Yes, this is the final state after the conversion, so this is definitely something supported. Regards Aurelien -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurel...@aurel32.net http://aurel32.net
Bug#1038798: locales: transition from /etc/default/locale to /etc/locale.conf
Package: locales Version: 2.36-9 Followup-For: Bug #1038798 Dear Maintainer, transition from /etc/default/locale to /etc/locale.conf is a good idea. My debian systems have the /etc/default/locale -> /etc/locale.conf symlink already added manually for compatibility reasons. Will the proposed change break anything on upgrade from bookworm to trixie if the symlink already exists?
Bug#1038798: locales: transition from /etc/default/locale to /etc/locale.conf
Package: locales Version: 2.36-9 Tags: patch X-Debbugs-Cc: pkg-systemd-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Dear Maintainer(s), As discussed before Bookworm released, for Trixie we'd like to drop a lot of out-of-tree debian code and transition from the debian-only /etc/default/locale location to the more common /etc/locale.conf which is shared by most other distributions. The content is the same, so there's no functional change. We can add a compat symlink in the old location to ensure existing scripts or programs are not affected.
