I have just asked a SuSE developer, Mike Fabian <mfabian@suse.de>,
about what files to download to use SuSE's locale, and he kindly asked
me. I put his mail.

[ IIRC, we discussed about update of emulaters/linux-locale in
  tech-pkg-ja@jp.netbsd.org. Then, the discussion end up where we got
  no clue what files we should download. ]

According to his mail, it seems not so hard to use locale with SuSE,
if we can execute localedef and make locale data successfully.

Regards,
Masao

Of course :-).

I am not exactly sure what files you mean, but the certainly can be
downloaded easily.

The glibc related files from SuSE Linux 7.3 are available here:

    ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/7.3/suse/a1/glibc.rpm
    ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/7.3/suse/d1/glibc-devel.rpm
    ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/7.3/suse/d2/glibc-i18ndata.rpm
    ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/7.3/suse/d2/glibc-profile.rpm
    ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/7.3/suse/doc3/glibc-html.rpm
    ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/7.3/suse/doc3/glibc-info.rpm

The source rpm for these packages is here:

    ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/7.3/suse/zq1/glibc.spm

Maybe glibc-i18ndata is what you want? glibc-i18ndata contains the
sources for the locales. The binary locale date stored in
/usr/lib/locale is generated from this sources with the localedef
command.

In SuSE Linux 7.3, the binary locales generated from the sources in
glibc-i18ndata were all packaged in the main glibc.rpm.

For the soon to be released SuSE Linux 8.0 we prepackaged a lot more
binary locales to comply with the LI18NUX specification.  Therefore
the /usr/lib/locale directory got quite large (58 Megabytes) and we
therefore packaged it into an additional package 'glibc-locale.rpm',
in order to make it possible to install a minimal, POSIX only system
without all this locale data.

The glibc 2.2.5 packages from SuSE Linux 8.0 are not yet on FTP
because SuSE Linux 8.0 is not yet released. But if you think you need
these as well, just tell me, I'll try to make them available to
you. We are in the beta phase already and would appreciate if you find
some bugs.
