#2061 F30 System-Wide Change: Reset locale if not available
Closed: Accepted by churchyard. Opened by bcotton.

Closed: Accepted
Reopen Issue

When logging in over ssh or another mechanism, locale settings are forwarded. If the destination does not support that locale, C.UTF-8 will be used instead.

I'm not entirely convinced that resetting to C.UTF-8 is preferrable to resetting to en_US.UTF-8 if available - C.UTF-8 is "more different" from an arbitrary locale for things like the collation order one sees with 'ls'. Still, resetting seems like a good idea, and I think the different between C.UTF-8 and en_US.UTF_8 is minor.

AFAIK en_US.UTF-8 is not guaranteed to be available. Also, it used to reset to C, so the collation order should be backwards compatible (at least in ASCII cases).

Do we need to discuss this during a meeting? It's +5/0/0, and I'm not going to vote.

10 days old. in fact we should consider this approved.
