[Bug 241056] New: "Unmatched `." when using "~/.i18n" with csh
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241056 Summary: "Unmatched `." when using "~/.i18n" with csh Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: werner@novell.com ReportedBy: Ulrich.Windl@rz.uni-regensburg.de QAContact: qa@suse.de The administrator manual should be a bit more verbose on the fact that ~/.i18n is intended to be used for all available shells (i.e. bash and tcsh) with just one syntax. I had to find out... However due to a bug in /etc/profile.d/lang.csh (aaa_base-10-12.8) at line 26 ("eval `sed -n ..."), whenever you try to use ~/.i18n with csh, "Unmatched `." is output, and all locale values are reset to "POSIX". -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Add also an set LC_ALL to be able to handle the value of the environment variable LC_ALL as a simple shell variable (e.g. using ${%LC_ALL}) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

In any case the documentation (section "22.4: Sprach- und Länderspezifische Einstellungen") should be revised a bit, too (as comment #0 suggested). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Those are used to correct the charmap appendings.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241056 ------- Comment #6 from ke@novell.com 2007-05-14 09:44 MST ------- I do not know nothing about tcsh. Bash is the default and I will just add a warning, no code proposals. It is an interesting feature that both /etc/profile.d/lang.csh and /etc/profile.d/lang.sh want to access the same file. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241056 ------- Comment #7 from werner@novell.com 2007-05-14 09:55 MST ------- Why you want add a warning? Please simply refere ~/.i18n as users choise with the same syntax as used in /etc/sysconfig/language but without the starting `RC_' and without ROOT_USES_LANG. The script /etc/profile.d/lang.csh simply parses ~/.i18n and /etc/sysconfig/language with the help of `sed' to get out the lines with e.g. LANG= LC_...= and generates csh code which is used after `eval'ing. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
