The effect is that the locale data is stored in a single "icudt__.dat" instead of in the shared library: http://userguide.icu-project.org/icudata There are no comments mentioning why this is the case, and reading the commit log gives me the impression that it was added as a workaround. So, can we remove it? Should we remove it? The rationale for this proposal is that ICU tests are failing when using the "archive" packaging instead of library: https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/projects/ICU/issues/ICU-20730 --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCgAdFiEEu7At3yzq9qgNHeZDoqBt8qM6VPoFAl04XFoACgkQoqBt8qM6 VPqU7Af+OuBnre/YYc2swUbvRWxyzWDuvne+/tAXE4/2BG+evBBsEg4yGHv6wOMJ +SiVu98NzK7meQ8ATUDw9mMj7/2vVx+LebW8wM1cB11AOEW9dqtROnORLIpErYcX 1t3twf4oM4/N0M/x+xS0C9V+BYsXov4p+naEAZzba8YrOYTbo/4b/5NuSKT0Aylp aWHoSIhWIpXWnQld0ymKauSODMPhyvwEEELDrChGurs1Hx/z632n8NUwV80zXZc8 cUqMz8IZwWwtnbjx5cIZVSr0xnAfK1WvK1dWRsubYvQSaMqpDwKkHKc3ZxWHuPb5 wy093+CryTNYSNHmJGngWy2bDu8YnA== =teGo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
