Re: The glibc-2.2 locale name problem

[thhsieh@linux.org.tw]

: There's no legal way of creating "zh_TW.Big5" through "localedef" because
: glibc normalizes charset name to lower case. So it means there must always
: be some post-installation handling if you want "zh_TW.Big5". This will
: permanently put a burden on packagers/maintainers/users. We finally got a
: glibc that supports our locale and installs it out of box. I'm afraid that
: your proposal will drag us right back to where we were in the old days when
: we had to do it ourselves.

Excuse me, may I ask a FAQ? Why does glibc normalize the charset name
to lower case? Is this way a standard or something like that?
