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.
