Re: [vdr] Which locale variables influence VDR?

Hi all,

there's an open bug report for the Gentoo VDR ebuilds regarding locale vars: http://bugs.gentoo.de/view.php?id=445

Up till now everything gets set to POSIX and afterwards LC_COLLATE gets set to whatever the user requests in the init script's config file. My suggestion was to make LANG accessible in the config file as well, because both are mentioned in the VDR docs.

Is there any final wisdom on which locale vars influence VDR?

VDR itself doesn't react on any environment settings, except when checking for the presence of UTF8 (which it refuses to run with).

It's mainly the runtime library that reacts on these locale settings, using them to decide how to sort strings, for instance.
