| Hello! My servers keep many files in cyrillic naming. Serving big user loads it is hard to keep files in old encodings with outside world is already living in UTF-8. Storing files not in UTF-8 cause some problems with Samba and fatal problems with Linux & NFS, which don't have conversions at all. So I feel there is time to move on UTF-8 on NetBSD too, and it seems NetBSD 6 has ru_RU.UTF-8 support, however it is still is not complete. Fresh installed 6.1.4 can store files in UTF-8. It also can share these via SMB or NFS, but I can't make it work in shell. As I see it has support only for LC_CTYPE and LC_MESSAGES via locale.alias having no native ru_RU.UTF-8 support. My linux rxvt-unicode terminal (working locally as expected) with ssh to NetBSD box show: [***@gloria ~]$ locale LANG="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="C" LC_TIME="C" LC_NUMERIC="C" LC_MONETARY="C" LC_MESSAGES="ru_RU.UTF-8 This cause cyrillic filenamse being shown good, but I cannot access it, because shell print hex code (f.e. \:\262\321\320) instead of letters. Bash is 4.3.0(1) out of the box. (By the way https://wiki.netbsd.org/unicode/ says it will work out of the box) Two questions on that: Am I right and aliasing ru_RU.UTF-8 to en_US.UTF-8 make this that bad? If I am right - what I shall do to complete ru_RU.UTF-8 locale and have no problems in writing cyrillic filenames? |
