- Is it really a good idea to check /etc/locale.conf? Wouldn't something like [[ ${LANG,,} == *utf-8* ]] be more appropriate?
correcting my last reply to you regarding locale.connf and $LANG. /etc/locale.conf is what sets the $LANG parameter. from the installation wiki: <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide#Configure_the_system> "Set locale preferences in /etc/locale.conf and possibly $HOME/.config/locale.conf: # echo LANG=your_locale > /etc/locale.conf" So, if one has set $LANG via $HOME/.config/locale.conf ; the PKGBUILD would not be dong its job properly, correct? (assuming $HOME/.config/locale.conf and /etc/locale.conf do NOT match.) Thus, I believe you are correct and checking $LANG might be more appropriate. Does everyone agree?
