<h2><a name="s2.1"></a>2.1 The language-env package</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
This package is an attempt to setup the user's environment locale properly by
|
||
changing the user's <code>~/.bash_profile</code>, <code>~/.Xresources</code>
|
||
and other user's configuration files. The included program guides the user in
|
||
the definition of the locale by asking for his country and whether he desires
|
||
(or not) euro support. Those tasks that need to be taken aside (since the
|
||
program runs as an ordinary user it cannot change system-wide settings) are
|
||
presented to the user so he can (as superuser) make the appropriate changes.
|
||

<h2><a name="s2.2"></a>2.2 The euro-support package</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
The euro-support package is an attempt to provide appropriate
|
||
<em>system-wide</em> configuration to represent the euro character easily in
|
||
the Debian GNU/Linux operating system. This package provides this
|
||
configuration in two ways:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Depending on the appropriate packages needed in order to have euro support.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Configuring the system upon installation in order to provide euro support.
|
||
</p>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
NOTE: The second part is not yet built-in <code>euro-support</code>.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
There are currently three packages:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt>euro-support</dt>
|
||
<dd>
|
||
<p>
|
||
includes this document as well as the <code>euro-test</code> program
|
||
</p>
|
||
</dd>
|
||
</dl>
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt>euro-support-console</dt>
|
||
<dd>
|
||
<p>
|
||
includes the dependencies for providing euro icon in console environment
|
||
</p>
|
||
</dd>
|
||
</dl>
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt>euro-support-X</dt>
|
||
<dd>
|
||
<p>
|
||
includes the dependencies for the X windows environment

<h3><a name="s2.2.1"></a>2.2.1 The euro-test program</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
There is a test program called <code>euro-test</code> in the
|
||
<code>euro-support</code> package program provided in order for the user to see
|
||
if the euro symbol is properly represented in his system. This program has
|
||
been written in order to test if the system configuration is appropriate and
|
||
works both for the text console and the X graphic environment. Although
|
||
developed for the Debian GNU/Linux system it can be used in other GNU/Linux
|
||
operating systems in order to test for the euro support.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
The goal of the program is to determine if/why the user's system provides the
|
||
euro symbol. The information gathered could be used to manually configure the
|
||
system properly together with this document.
|
||
</p>

||
|
||
<h2><a name="s2.3"></a>2.3 The user-euro-XXX packages</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
There are also some packages (currently there is only a spanish version: the
|
||
<code>user-euro-es</code> package) that will fully customize the system's (not
|
||
the user's) enviroment in order to provide euro support. This packages will
|
||
(through the execution of a given command) modify the system's configuration
|
||
files (as explained below) and take the necessary steps to configure the
|
||
environment.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
Administrators in a haste are encouraged to use this packages and run the
|
||
aforementioned scripts (<code>eurocastellanizar</code> for
|
||
<code>user-euro-es</code>). However, users are encouraged to read through this
|
||
document in order to be forewarned of all the issues (some of which cannot be
|
||
tackled automatically).
