Hi I'm sure somebody know it already, this is such a common case I guess. I'm using the et_EE.ISO_8859-15 locale, which defines character range (collating range?) as a ... <th>. Now, almost all old regular expression syntaxes use a ... z, which in the current case excludes characters t,u,v,w,x,y,<th> and some "special" diacritical characters. For this particular reason I'm unable to install for example sysutils/nut port, which uses [-_a-zA-Z0-9] construct in the configure script. The above construct is basically what [[:alnum:]] describes, isn't it? Anyway, it works this way as expected. I can fix such cases for myself, but what is the general thought about such ports and overall? It's all very ASCII centric and I can imagine why.
