There are still difficulties with this solution. a. In case /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ja_JP.EUC/ exists, "ln ja_JP.eucJP ja_JP.EUC" will fail. b. If a user installs pre-4.5 binary package, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ja_JP.EUC directory will be created. So, please wait for a while. I'll discuss this problem with other developers in Japan. Then, we'll fix ports. > NOTE: Don't do it now, please because if I get at least few requests > to backout *EUC to *euc* rename it will be backed out. If we have **enough time** before 4.5-RELEASE, I don't request to backout renames. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Motoyuki Konno motoyuki@bsdclub.org (Home) motoyuki@FreeBSD.ORG (FreeBSD Project) http://www.freebsd.org/~motoyuki/ (WWW) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
