Title: sanity checks for getlocale.sh
Post by: GNUser on February 10, 2020, 03:56:41 PM

curaga, I created a patch for the getlocale.sh script (part of getlocale.tcz). I hope it's helpful.

The purpose is to give the user a red-letter warning in situations where the script is unlikely to work as intended:

1. if the script is running while a prior  mylocale.tcz  is loaded
2. if the  localedef  step fails
3. if the generated  mylocale.tcz  has a nonsensical size

Any of the above warnings would have prevented me from chasing my tail when using getlocale.tcz in the recent past.

The last two are ok, but instead of warning for an existing mylocale.tcz, it should be ok to sudo rm the existing locale archive.

I have to admit that's a much better idea. How about this?
