can mylocale.tcz and alsa settings be used across TCL versions?
« on: January 02, 2020, 08:59:18 AM »
I'm mentally preparing to upgrade Pure64 from 10.1 to 11.0. Two quick questions:

1. Is it possible to use /usr/local/etc/alsa/asound.state from an older TCL version in newer TCL version?
2. Is it possible to use mylocale.tcz from an older TCL version, or is it generally necessary/advisable to recreate it in new TCL version using getlocale.tcz?

Thanks!

They will probably work, but no guarantees. Alsa version changes occasionally change channel names -> old volumes don't match, glibc versions shouldn't change the locale-archive binary format, but I doubt there's a guarantee.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Thank you, curaga. Good to know what the potential compatibility issues are.
I'll try them both. If either one doesn't work, it's simple enough to create a replacement.
Thanks again!
