Re: Replacement of the locales package
I have to admit that I'm a bit surprised by Denis proposal. I have the
feeling that some long-time conflicts are lying below this, but I'm
not sure that forking the locales package is the best way to solve
them.
Knowing Masanori Goto *and* Denis Barbier, I'm sure both of you guys
can work together very efficiently. That would probably just be a
matter of putting you around a table...:-). Hint: both, come to
Debconf5...:-)
Anyway, this may be an opportunity for really discussing these issues,
so let's go (however, doing this post-sarge in order to keep
maintainers energy focus on release would probably have been better)

I don't understand. As far as I know, eu_FR is already in locales..:-)

I haven't read the BTS, but is the EO code really the most
appropriate? I bet this is what the debate is about....
I would arther vote for eo_XX but I probably need checking various
documents abou tlocales for that.

If I remember, this BTS is a nightmare with different opinions
diverging and no real consensus of any kind...:-(
