-Short description: Fedora-specific glibc install locale changes.
-Author(s):  Fedora glibc team <glibc@lists.fedoraproject.org>
-Origin: PATCH
-Upstream status: not-needed
-
-The Fedora glibc build and install does not need the normal install
-behaviour which updates the locale archive. The Fedora install phase
-in the spec file of the rpm will handle this manually.

+    localedef: Handle symbolic links when generating locale-archive
+    
+    Whenever locale data for any locale included symbolic links, localedef
+    would throw the error "incomplete set of locale files" and exclude it
+    from the generated locale archive.  This commit fixes that.
