Bug ID: 18399
Summary: Review / update charmap data
Product: glibc
Version: 2.21
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: localedata
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: myllynen at redhat dot com
CC: joseph at codesourcery dot com, libc-locales at sourceware dot org,
maiku.fabian at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
The localedata/charmaps/* files are probably, judging by comments in them,
based on the corresponding standards and are thus fine as-is. However, there
are at least few charmaps which should be reviewed and updated or even
added/removed if deemed appropriate.
- ISO_10646 was not updated as part of bug 14094 work and thus looks outdated.
Its use of mnemonics could also be reconsidered.
- POSIX Portable Character Set charmap is not available, should it?

- ISO_8859-1,GL looks like ISO-8859-1 written in mnemonics but the name is
derived from its author and thus it doesn't look like a general purpose
character map that should be part of glibc so perhaps it could be removed?
Thanks.
