2. What is the nature and description of the request?

the inclusion of the following aliases in the default
/usr/lib64/gconv/gconv-modules and /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules:

alias ISO-10646-UCS-2// UNICODE//
alias ISO-10646-UCS-2// ISO-10646/UTF8/

3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

The customer builds SMS systems.

Some mobile phones (e.g. Nokia 3560) use the ISO-10646-UCS-2 charset, if the OS
does not know this character set the message cannot be processed, and the
message is rejected. This will lead to the impossibility to send messages with
these handsets, resulting in upset end-users.

4. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional
requirements here)

As proposed add lines to gconv-modules

5. For each functional requirement listed in question 4, specify how Red Hat
and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully
implemented.

The output of "iconv --list | grep ISO-10646-UCS-2" should be non-empty.

6. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat bugzilla?

No.

7. How quickly does this need resolved? (desired target release)

ASAP

8. Does this request meet the RHEL Inclusion criteria (please review)

Yes.

9. List the affected packages

glibc

10. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?

Yes.
