Just checking in again. Can anyone describe the current usage of the
CHECKSUMS file?
I'm not aware of any usage. Roland, it seems you introduced it - do you
remember anything?
I have no recollections about this file and I can't even deduce now why you
think it was me that added it (not that this in any way means that I did not).
From localedata/ChangeLog:
2002-12-03 Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com>
* charmaps/CP1125: New file.
* CHECKSUMS: Add it.
Otherwise let's remove it...
I can't see what it's possibly buying us. It's certainly easy to
regenerate the file in the future if we find a reason to want it.
Has anyone asked on the libc-locales@sourceware.org list?
I'm not on that list, and have no idea if there is any activity there.
Looking at the archives, there's no activity, just bug reports
Ok, I'll remove it tomorrow,
Andreas
