Description of problem: I am trying to make Fedora available in Esperanto. When I do `locale -a`, the `eo.utf8` locale is not available. It only becomes available when I install `glibc-langpack-eo`, which does not appear to be necessary for other languages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 29 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run `locale -a`. Esperanto is unavailable. 2. Install `glibc-langpack-eo` 3. Run `locale -a`. Esperanto is available. Actual results: Esperanto is unavailable by default. Expected results: Esperanto is available by default. Additional info: This may be because Esperanto is the only locale without region. A normal locale looks like "nl_NL.utf8", whereas Esperanto has "eo.utf8".
This small change to the glibc.spec file fixes the problem: $ git diff diff --git a/glibc.spec b/glibc.spec index f381ba5..08779ee 100644 --- a/glibc.spec +++ b/glibc.spec @@ -1032,7 +1032,7 @@ $olddir/build-%{target}/elf/ld.so \ --library-path $olddir/build-%{target}/ \ $olddir/build-%{target}/locale/localedef \ --prefix %{glibc_sysroot} --add-to-archive \ - *_* + eo *_* # Setup the locale-archive template for use by glibc-all-langpacks. mv locale-archive{,.tmpl} # Create the file lists for the language specific sub-packages: lines 1-13/13 (END)

Please note that Fedora 29 glibc is in freeze indefinitely. I will try to get an exception for this change.

I goes out the door today in the next couple of hours. We can release a bodhi update with the new eo locale.
