Subject: Create /etc/default_locale containing the selected locale
Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2003 10:41:19 +0200
Package: locales
Version: 2.3.2-8
Severity: wishlist

Currently, the default locale setting for the system can be accessed 
only through /etc/environment, which is a configuration file for PAM. 
Setting the locale for a daemon currently requires to parse this file, 
but it is just not the way to go.

If, additionnaly to the /etc/environment stuff, the debconf-selected
locale was put into /etc/default_locale (a file just containing the
locale, nothing else), as suggested Ryan Murray, it would make it much
easier for daemons to set their locale to the system default, without
relying on an error-prone environment setting.
Such a file would be necessary to get a correctly localized gdm for
sarge.

I think it is fairly easy to achieve, and it could even be used later
(after the sarge release) to set the locale using a specific PAM module,
instead of using pam_env.

This wishlist needs a bit consideration.

(1) We store locale setting for 2 files - /etc/environment,
    /etc/default_locale.  Is it good idea?

(2) Why do you need to read /etc/default_locale instead of
    /etc/environment?  Is it hard to parse /etc/environment so hard?

(3) I guess gdm issue is the locale dialog in the login screen.  Why
    can't gdm read /etc/environment file?  If you mean it's easier to
    read /etc/default_locale than to parse /etc/environment, yes it
    may become one of the reason.  But does this change fix the gdm
    issue?

That's why I suggest to make it temporarily. The locale setting could
also be read here by PAM.

It is not hard, but you have to be careful with the fact
/etc/environment can contain spaces.

Basically, the gdm maintainer refuses to include code to parse
/etc/environment. While I think parsing it would be a fine solution, I
also agree with the fact having a special file for this configuration
setting would be better.

If you have arguments that can convince Ryan to parse /etc/environment
until there is a cleaner solution, please show them. Having it not
localized correctly when it is so easy to achieve is slightly annoying -
but I fear Ryan is one of those English-speaking maintainers who don't
care about proper i18n.

Any idea of the choice made by others distros like RedHat or Mandrake
to fix that problem?

The locales package already gets it wrong, as it happens. :-) It assumes
that quoting is supported when it isn't. I expect that others would make
the same mistake.

/etc/environment is a configuration file owned by PAM and parsed by the
pam_env module at login time. As such, it's a good place to set the
default locale for PAM sessions.

However, all the world is not a PAM session. gdm before login is one
example; init scripts are another; perhaps the "login:" banner is a
third. I don't think it's right for these programs to be parsing a PAM
configuration file when they aren't dealing with PAM sessions; they're a
completely separate case.

In fact, I can certainly imagine cases where I'd want the
outside-a-session locale and the default PAM session locale to be
different. Say I speak French, but most of my users are German, so for
their benefit I decide that the default session locale should be German,
but I want to see init scripts localized in French so that I can work
out what's going on more easily. Or maybe I want to use LANG=C for init
scripts but default to a Unicode locale for sessions where I expect
terminal support to be better. It seems to me that having separate
configuration for locales outside and inside a session could be useful
in the same way as having different locales for different sessions.

I'd suggest, though, that /etc/default_locale is a poor name for this;
it sounds like it's the file you want to edit for the default locale
throughout the system, when in fact it just applies to programs running
before login. How about something like /etc/boot-locale or
/etc/default/boot-locale, with a comment at the top when generated by
locales explaining its purpose? Or maybe /etc/environment-prelogin or
similar would be a better name, and it wouldn't have to be limited to
locale configuration. Either way, the format should be simple and
clearly specified somewhere that's easy to find so that people don't
make the mistakes they do when trying to parse /etc/environment.

I've cc'ed the PAM maintainer in case I've made any grievous errors in
the above. Is there support for comments in /etc/environment? If so, we
could also add a comment there directing people to
/etc/default/boot-locale or whatever for things that are to affect
programs that run before login.

Cheers,

Sam,

We're trying to sort out the best fix for #214898.

I want to make sure we avoid duplication and only have the information
stored in one place - and it seems like pam is probably the best place,
since it's already setup to provide stuff from /etc/environment.

Would you object to a tool called 'pam_getenv' being included in
libpam0g or libpam-modules?  The idea is that init scripts could then
include something like:

LANG=$(/sbin/pam_getenv LANG)

and pull that in if they wanted to.

If that's okay, we'll figure out hacking that together and submit it.

Tks,
Jeff Bailey

tag - 133578 patch
thanks

Just to make it clear to everyone involved -- #133578 is waiting for #214898
to be fixed in glibc.  I'm not going to parse/use a tool to read the PAM
configuration file /etc/environment.  That config file is for setting up
the _login_ environment, not the system boot environment.  I think
this should be a generic environment file, so that things such as the
default init script/boot time PATH can be set in one place as well.
(PATH, for example, is set in 50 different /etc/init.d scripts of 85
on my system.)

Once this is done, init scripts can then use it and start making full use
of gettext for strings they display, localizing the entire boot process.

As I said before, I think this is very sad.  It's a little late in the
release process to be completely changing how we handle setting the
default LANG variable (or PATH, etc...).  Setting it in two places is
the wrong answer (since it's guaranteed to cause confusion), and any
other change is too invasive.

It's too bad the real losers here are non-English speakers.

Tks,
Jeff Bailey

Parsing /etc/environment would satisfy almost all gdm users.  Moreover
gdm display has nothing to do with system boot, using a login
environment is much saner.

I see that #133578 has been closed now.  Does this mean that the
requirement for #214898 has gone away, and this bug can also be closed?

 .
   [ Aurelien Jarno ]
   * Fix ldconfig multiarch patch for reiserfs filesystems.
   * Make ldconfig look into /lib32 and /usr/lib32 on amd64. Add /lib32 ->
     /emul/ia32-linux/lib and /usr/lib32 -> /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib links.
   * Remove glibc235-gcc4-ppc-procfs.diff from debian/patches/series.

     from upstream.  (Closes: #358041)
   * Replace getcwd_ia64.diff by getcwd_c.diff (fix getcwd on platforms where
     PAGE_SIZE >> PATH_MAX), backported from upstream.  (Closes: #355109)
   * debian/control: drop alternative build-depends on ia32-libs-dev as this
     package does not exist anymore.
