Just making this more visible. I can test this and all, but I'm
sitting here in en_US mode, so it'd be appretiated if some people who
use other locales, especially those that typically cause us issues
(ru?) could test - this includes users as well.

Let me know.

Even though i had said i was gonna test the packages you made i only have a
x86_64 pc running Archlinux ATM, using only en_US locale too.

Hi all,

I have set up a repo with an ncurses version that only has wide-charater
libraries and rebuilt as many packages as I knew needed a rebuild. See
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Allan/ncursesw for details and the
repo location. There are about a dozen build failures that I haven't
looked into yet.

I am using the packages now and have yet to find a problem so I would
appreciate some testing from others, especially people using other locales.
Only word of caution is that I haven't used ldd on the kde packages yet so
there may be some rebuilds there that I don't know about. Also I had to do
a version bump of util-linux-ng and a patchlevel bump on vi.

Giving this one final bump before I move the rebuilds to testing. I
have had some reports from people with European locales that things are
working and some improvements have been noticed.

Anybody using Russian or Asian locales who can give this a test?
Contact me if x86_64 builds would be useful in testing and I can start
those builds now.


Thanks,
Allan

I'll give you my stamp of "great job, go on forward". I've seen no
huge issues yet, and moving it to testing will give us better test
coverage.
