2013-12-31 05:09:22 Daniel Farina description In cases where one wants to produce a system image with a lot of locales supported (e.g. supporting a number of collations for user selection in various programs), it's easiest to generate a ton of locales. However, it's easily the slowest step of such a image/debootstrap, by a rather lot. It looks like Arch Linux has both inherited locale-gen and decided to patch it up to support parallel execution, some speed gains, so there's some prior art here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36955 In cases where one wants to produce a system image with a lot of locales supported (e.g. supporting a number of collations for user selection in various programs), it's easiest to generate a ton of locales.
