Hi, this has been brought up a couple of times already, but we never thought it was a big enough issue. Here it goes again: /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive is huge. With every glibc release it's growing some more. On this x86_64 system which runs glibc 2.7, locale-archive is 75 MB. That's just enough my personal pain threshold :P IMO with the next CRUX release, we should switch glibc from building it's huge /usr/lib/locale and instead ask users to build just the locales that they need. It should be just one more command to run after installing CRUX: $ localedef -i de_DE -f UTF-8 de_DE.utf8 Objections?
