https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=295945 Bug ID: 295945 Summary: Set the ports tree locale to C.UTF-8 in Mk/bsd.port.mk and retire USE_LOCALE Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Ports Framework Assignee: portmgr@FreeBSD.org Reporter: tijl@FreeBSD.org CC: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 271630 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=271630&action=edit patch */*: Use C.UTF-8 locale Ports 02f27a83b44d fixed the ports tree to the C locale so it would work correctly in environments where users use a locale that isn't compatible with the C locale, like xx_YY.UTF-8 locales for example where [A-Z] includes more than just upper case letters. USE_LOCALE was introduced to let ports use another locale if they needed it. The C.UTF-8 locale was created later on to be mostly compatible with the C locale. Switch the ports tree locale to C.UTF-8 and remove USE_LOCALE. The world has switched to Unicode so all ports either require it or know how to build correctly in a Unicode environment. games/aisleriot: Install file with non-ASCII name The file is extracted correctly now that the ports tree uses UTF-8. shells/fd: Pass LANG via MAKE_ARGS The upstream build system uses LANG to determine the location of Japanese manpages. Pass this through MAKE_ARGS instead of USE_LOCALE because "ja" is not a valid locale. While here use the upstream make variable BUILD for DESTDIR. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.home | help
