Subject: Integration of musl-locales, tooling, and musl
Hi everybody,
For many months, Rich has been following-up in the mailing list about the
progress of the locale project funded by Nlnet and NGI Zero Core fund. And with
the latest patches for locales and radix char, the project has basically come to
a conclussion on the musl side.
However, in addition to the work in musl, it is important to mention that two
new repositories have been created for continuing supporting locales long-term:
* https://codeberg.org/musl/musl-locales now holds all the locales created for
this project, translated into the new format. Rich gave access to Achill (Alpine
developer), and me (Nura member) access, so the locales are now in a more
"endorsed" location. Anybody involved in the previous musl-locales iteration
that want to get access to continue contributing, please just let us know! Given
that the new musl patches will now reject locales that musl does not know of,
locales are now more important than ever. Please send us patches with your
language!
* https://codeberg.org/dalias/musl-locale-tools-draft which Rich has spoken of
before, contains all the tooling needed to generate and parse locales, and is
used by musl-locales. IIUC, the expectation is that those will move to
https://codeberg.org/musl/musl-localedef on its due time, to also give them a
more official location.
Finally, the integration of the musl patchsets, and the new locales and tooling
is available for testing in Alpine and Nura in
https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/109452 It would be
wonderful if others with interest in locales would want to try similar
integration, and see if there's anything that was missed, or other potential
improvements. On my side, I've been running that build for a few weeks, so I can
speak of the stability of the patches.
Best,
Pablo Correa Gomez
