LC_MESSAGES related data was installed to <locale>/LC_MESSAGES file.
Now it go to <locale>/LC_MESSAGES/SYS_LC_MESSAGES file. LC_MESSAGES
directory is supposed to be storage of message catalogs of userland tools.
This should allow us to avoid many potential problems with future
libintl related functionality introduction.
Thanks for useful suggestions about correct way how to replace plain
files with directories at installworld stage to: Ruslan Ermilov <ru>
Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.
The below text is quoted from the latest POSIX draft:
: The values of locale categories shall be determined by a precedence
: order; the first condition met below determines the value:
:
: 1. If the LC_ALL environment variable is defined and is not null,
: the value of LC_ALL shall be used.
: 2. If the LC_* environment variable (LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES,
: LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, LC_TIME) is defined and is not null, the
: value of the environment variable shall be used to initialize the
: category that corresponds to the environment variable.
: 3. If the LANG environment variable is defined and is not null, the
: value of the LANG environment variable shall be used.
: 4. If the LANG environment variable is not set or is set to the empty
: string, the implementation-defined default locale shall be used.
The conditions 1 and 2 were interchanged, i.e., LC_* were looked first,
then LC_ALL, then LANG (note that LC_ALL and LANG were essentially the
same, providing the default, with LC_ALL taking precedence over LANG).
Now, LC_ALL and LANG serve the different purposes. LC_ALL overrides
any LC_*, and LANG provides the default fallback.
Testcase:
/usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C LC_TIME=de_DE.ISO_8859-1 /bin/date
Should return date in the "C" locale format.
Inspired by: date(1) reference page in the Draft
