Bug#225516: locales: please add ru_RU.CP1251 to the package
Package: locales
Version: 2.2.5-11.5
Severity: wishlist
There is a widely-used Russian encoding (Windows uses it) windows-1251
AKA cp1251; locale for it can be generated by using the following
command:
localedef -f cp1251 -i ru_RU ru_RU.cp1251
however, as this locale is not in the package, one is forced to
regenerate this manually after any upgrade of the locales package. It
would be nice to add this locale to the list for localegen.
