Referring to gettext document, which might be not really a standard but shows their attitude about locale, they give .UTF-8 as example, but not mentioning .utf8 at all. http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/gettext/Locale-Names.html#Locale-Names
I didn't do detailed research, but in some other major distribution they use .UTF-8 in their official documentations, e.g. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/666565 Title: "utf8" charmap in locale name is wrong -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
