Mentioned page lists Top Level Domains. But actual country codes are listed by ISO 3166[*]. SU is missing from this list. This means that SU is unassigned code and can be assigned in future.

Correctly, remove exisitng /usr/share/{nls,locale}/ru_RU.* before execution of mtree(1). Only in this case ru_RU locale should be setup correctly for 'make world' upgrades. Otherwise we'll have crossed symlinks between ru_RU and ru_SU locale directories and broken world as result :-( I don't think that purpose is worth such hacks. But if there're will be more requests and no objections I'll do it. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
