README.md

This tool, which only works on Linux, uses your system's locale data to generate a collator partition for Tangara. This partition is uses to sort database information (album names, etc.) in a way that makes sense to humans.

Because this script isn't portable, Generic.LC_COLLATE is included as a pregenerated collator partition that should work well for most people's music libraries.

Partition format

The collator partition has 3MiB reserved for it in the partition table, which is enough to hold the compiled collation data for ISO14651 character sorting, plus a small amount of free space.

The first 8 bytes of the partition are reserved for a partition name; usually the name of the locale that the collation data was compiled for, or 'Generic' for ISO14651 data.

Following the 8 byte name, is a complete LC_COLLATE file, as generate by GNU libc's localedef utility. Debian's version 2.37 of this utility is known to work.

FIXME: We should vendor this version of the tool, so that our format remains stable across glibc changes.
