[SOLVED] how to test a new locale tcz file

[aus9]

Hi

I am at a loss to know how to check a new package-locale.tcz (not yet submitted)
so here is what I tested for an existing package

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ locale -a
C
POSIX
tc@box:~$ tce-load -i glib2-locale
/etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional/glib2-locale.tcz: OK
tc@box:~$ locale -a
C
POSIX
tc@box:~$ tce-load -i glib2
glib2 is already installed!

any clues would be appreciated.

cheers

Trivia, I know how to change locale in the debian world and have been spoilt using US keyboard and aussie English

See the getlocale.tcz extension. But you'd still need to find something that outputs glib2 strings - I think they're mostly errors, so may be a bit hard to find.

No need to reply.....notes to myself, for testing purposes

firstly when I made my selections I chose fr_FR.UTF-8 as my lang=string, silly me

In testing my new package, happens to be terminal luckily it gave me an error straight away
as per image and the locale command borked a bit due to wrong string

I shall reboot shortly and look at using string from

Code: [Select]

ls /usr/share/i18n/locales/

If I want different keyboard layout

Code: [Select]

ls /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/

reboot same error hmmmm no its the name of string that matters. reboot and try again but

Code: [Select]

locale -a
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory
C
POSIX
en_US.utf8
fr_FR.utf8

but I think I know the name of string to try

woo hoo

firstly notes to myself but I hope it helps others

get your locale command working first

Code: [Select]

locale
LANG=fr_FR.utf8
LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_TIME="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_PAPER="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_NAME="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.utf8"
LC_ALL=
tc@box:~$ locale -a
C
en_US.utf8
fr_FR.utf8
POSIX

then I tested my new package and success as per image,
its an image in French no need to see just a note to myself
