Hi Loic, thanks for your answer! Loïc Minier schrieb:
The files will work on both little endian and big endian systems, but there's a performance hit when the endianess differ (as the file can't be used directly when it's mmap-ed). It's a bug, but it's not clear to me how we could fix this while not losing too much space. [...] I'd rather not implement anything specific in epiphany-browser, it would be best to discuss this more widely and come to a generic solution for all arch: all packages.
May I conclude that it is common practice to ship little-endian locale files in arch-indep data packages that are also referenced by big-endian arch packages? While not being perfect, it is convenient and (most importantly) it actually works -- somehow.
