Subject: [bug#70280] [PATCH 3/5] locale: Shrink ‘%default-locale-definitions’ from 34 to 10 locales.
Date: Tue, 09 Apr 2024 21:38:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87frvus4wr.fsf@pelzflorian.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <c3d39296e091348f32ccfee671cf2918b5752424.1712585810.git.ludo@gnu.org> ("Ludovic Courtès"'s message of "Mon, 8 Apr 2024 16:24:33 +0200")

Hello Ludo.  Even though with my base commit I get 70MB more than you do
(from 1460.5MB down to 1296.1MB), your patches still bring good
improvement.

So (operating-system-locale-definitions os) can now be changed to
something other than operating-system-locale-definitions that does not
include locale.  Perhaps this is useful when one does not want utf8 but
EUC-JP like in the “info "(guix)Locales"”?  Okay.

I agree with shrinking default locales, but do not understand what
benefit it brings that U.N. languages are always included.  Perhaps it
would be more useful to include en_US only?  Locales like fr_CA and
ar_JO do not even have separate teams on translationproject.org.  There
are reasons for developers to include interesting locales for testing
like tr_TR or az_AZ, where capitalized i is İ and small I is ı, breaking
all kinds of programs, but few people would know.

Regards,
Florian
