Hi, the patch description says it all. I guess this page is worth adding although nobody should use repertoire maps anymore (they were removed from glibc over a decade ago). >From 700d0744d4ca78d90aad9779ac44f31eb7a10935 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marko Myllynen <myllynen@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2014 16:37:01 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] repertoiremap.5: New page for repertoiremap(5) Rather obsolete feature but localedef(1) refers to repertoiremaps. --- man5/repertoiremap.5 | 72 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 files changed, 72 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 man5/repertoiremap.5 diff --git a/man5/repertoiremap.5 b/man5/repertoiremap.5 new file mode 100644 index 0000000..fc8cab1 --- /dev/null +++ b/man5/repertoiremap.5 @@ -0,0 +1,72 @@ +.\" +.\" %%%LICENSE_START(GPLv2+_DOC_FULL) +.\" This is free documentation; you can redistribute it and/or +.\" modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as +.\" published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of +.\" the License, or (at your option) any later version. +.\" +.\" The GNU General Public License's references to "object code" +.\" and "executables" are to be interpreted as the output of any +.\" document formatting or typesetting system, including +.\" intermediate and printed output. +.\" +.\" This manual is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, +.\" but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of +.\" MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
