Description Toralf 2002-01-03 12:43:01 UTC 
Description of Problem:
Simply put, shoudn't the following section from /etc/profile.d/lang.csh use
"setenv" rather than "set" when assigning to LANG? Surely you want to
update the environment, not just a shell variable?

if ($?GDM_LANG) then
    set sourced=1
    set LANG=$GDM_LANG
endif
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2002-01-25 06:49:38 UTC 
Yup, fixed in 6.51-1, thanks!
Comment 2 Toralf 2002-02-12 12:52:03 UTC 
Upgraded to initscripts-6.51-1, but it still looks wrong to me.
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2002-02-13 05:05:15 UTC 
Yeah, there was a CVS snafu. Will be changed in the next build, really. :(
Comment 4 Toralf 2002-03-05 07:12:06 UTC 
It is updated, but still not quite correct. A patch will be attached.
Comment 5 Toralf 2002-03-05 07:13:33 UTC 
Created attachment 47403 [details]
Patch: Correct setenv syntax in lang.csh
Comment 6 Bill Nottingham 2002-03-05 07:47:15 UTC 
Um, that fix is already in CVS.
Comment 7 Bill Nottingham 2002-03-05 07:52:37 UTC 
... and should be in 6.54-1.
