Bug ID: 18408
Summary: Provide software utility to permit user created custom
locales
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: localedata
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: byrnejb@harte-lyne.ca
CC: libc-locales at sourceware dot org
Target Milestone: ---
A command line utility to permit user creation of and modification to valid
customised LOCALEs together with their proper installation and removal should
be provided with glibc. The existing localedef utility is undocumented and
minimally useful for the installation of customised locales. No useful editing
tool for locale definitions is provided at all.
See bugs: #9842 #12731 #16668
Editorial comment:
This whole situation with LOCALEs appears to me rather bizarre. Surely the
date and time format an individual or group desire to employ on their own
computer systems should be their choice to make and not arbitrarily restrained
by the simple lack of suitable tools to do so. Why is customising system
environmental information display made so difficult for end users to do for
themselves?
