It's been already modified. I was waiting to have same spare time to solve a couple of annoyances reported in the list to release an update, so I'll wait for 1.7.10, no problem. commit 66fd544b8ca96e053b17d671becf0df47251b7a1 Author: David Sastre Medina <d.sastre.medina@gmail.com> Date: Sat Oct 22 00:21:44 2011 +0200 Added CC0 license header to scripts, and the CC0 license itself is under /usr/share/doc/common-licenses/. Modified locale setting in /etc/profile.d/lang.{sh,csh} to honor the OS setting. Corrected some files' header info. Added Greg's Wiki http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ in /etc/profile. Bumped version number. Specifically, the /etc/profile.d/lang.{sh,csh} now use this: i# if no locale variable is set, indicate terminal charset via LANG test -z "${LC_ALL:-${LC_CTYPE:-$LANG}}" && export LANG=$(locale -sU) # if no locale variable is set, indicate terminal charset via LANG if ( $?LC_ALL == 0 && $?LC_CTYPE == 0 && $?LANG == 0 ) setenv LANG = `locale -sU` -- Huella de clave primaria: AD8F BDC0 5A2C FD5F A179 60E7 F79B AB04 5299 EC56
