   Hi,

   Under Slitaz 4, I just edited /etc/profile so that it exports all variables sourced from locale.conf:
   line 38 is changed from
   export LANG LC_ALL
   to
   export LANG ${!LC_@}

   This allows fine-tuning of locale, such as
   LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8
   LC_NUMERIC=C
   LC_COLLATE=C
   for example.

   I hope you'll find this patch worth applying.

   Sorry, no.
   ${!LC_@} not works in my default shell.
   

   /bin/sh: syntax error: bad substitution

   Do I need Bash? Really, no. And our default SliTaz ISO have no Bash too.
   Maybe you know other way to do the same? Good as idea.

   Sorry, I thought bash behaved like sh when invoked as sh. (Or maybe the default Slitaz sh isn't fully sh compliant? Whatever.)

   Another way is:
   export LANG LC_CTYPE LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME LC_COLLATE LC_MONETARY LC_MESSAGES
   export LC_PAPER LC_NAME LC_ADDRESS LC_TELEPHONE LC_MEASUREMENT LC_IDENTIFICATION LC_ALL

   Tedious but should work ;)

   Interesting document about our shell: man ash.

   Let's test, what will be if I not set some LC_* variable, and don't want to see it.
   Test.
   1. Variable NONSET not exist:
   

   export NONSET
   env | grep NONSET

   (empty)

   2. Existing variable ISSET:
   

   ISSET=isset
   export ISSET
   env | grep ISSET
   ISSET=isset

   OK, it worked as expected. Only LC_* variables that sourced from /etc/locale.conf will be exported.
