Bug #: 15189
Summary: the tool to create private locales is described as
described
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: manual
AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: giecrilj@stegny.2a.pl
CC: mtk.manpages@gmail.com, roland@gnu.org
Classification: Unclassified
Quoting 7.5 Standard Locales:
"Defining and installing named locales is normally a responsibility of the
system administrator at your site (or the person who installed the GNU C
library). It is also possible for the user to create private locales. All this
will be discussed later when describing the tool to do so."
I would expect that "discussed later" refers to some info node, not to the FAQ
[1], which also mentions the tool only in passing. However, I was unable to
find `localedef` in the info; it is not in the index of files.
Note that there is a manual page for `localedef` but that does not count as
"later" either.
As a workaround, I suggest replacing the last sentence of the quoted paragraph
with a reference to the manual page; the problem with that approach is that,
given that `man` is non-GNU, you need to invoke `groff` directly to read manual
pages in a GNU-only system, which is rather intricate and inconvenient.
Or do we mean "later" as in the future? :-P
