# The glibc package in Nixpkgs is patched to make it possible to specify
|
|
# an alternative path for the locale archive through a special environment
|
|
# variable. This would allow different versions of glibc to coexist on the
|
|
# same system because each version of glibc could look up different paths
|
|
# for its locale archive should the archive format ever change in
|
|
# incompatible ways.

# Note, the name of the said environment variable gets updated with each

# breaking release of the glibcLocales package. Periodically check the link
