Dear maintainers,

I'm working again on implementing
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_glibc-langpacks-all_from_buildroot.
The first step is to replace LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 with LC_ALL=C.UTF-8
(and similarly for LANG=, LC_CTYPE=, etc.) in all spec files. This
will be backwards and forwards compatible, in the sense that packages
that use C.UTF-8 should build OK on older and newer Fedoras.

Once that's done, I'll file the PRs to actually replace glibc-langpacks-all
with glibc-minimal-langpacks in mock and koji.

I'll do a mass update to use C.UTF-8 for the packages in the list that
follows, next week. I'll do test builds locally, and I'll only push to
dist-git if the local builds succeed. Let me know if you want your
package to be excluded.


Note for Python package owners:

Since Python 3.7 upstream (and 3.6 in Fedora 26+ [0])
the locale is automatically coerced from C to C.utf-8 [1].


If you set LANG=en_US.utf-8 (or similar) for your Python 3 tests/docs/..., consider trying to remove the statement entirely before converting it to LANG=C.utf-8. The same applies if you already use LANG=C.utf-8.


Zbyszek: I'm going to do this in ipython and python-django.
