Subject: Drop localedef.1 --old-style description
Date: Sat, 11 Jun 2016 16:05:15 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <575C0C8B.5050103@redhat.com> (raw)

Hi Michael,

the glibc upstream decided to drop localedef(1) --old-style option [1]
altogether, I think we can do the same with localedef(1), the option
hasn't done anything in over 16 years and I doubt anyone uses it.

1) https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=6a54bcda7a2a64e465992a9984785443fd594743
