From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Waldemar Brodkorb Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2015 09:14:17 +0200 Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH] uclibc: deprecate locale support Message-ID: <20150628071417.GA13377@waldemar-brodkorb.de> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net The quality of the locale implementation in uClibc seems to be bad. Recently a discussion on the uClibc mailinglist showed that the uClibc maintainer has no time to fix remaining issues in the locale implementation. http://lists.uclibc.org/pipermail/uclibc/2015-June/049000.html Because of the bad state of the code I would like to deprecate it. I never used it myself and see no good reason why I would need it for an embedded system. I believe not many people are using it. For good working locale support there is still GNU libc and musl.
