Hi all,
I'm getting the above warning messahe every time I pull from the main GHC git repo. The strange thing is that this only happens on the GHC repo, on a whole bunch of others I get no such warning.
After some pretty rigorous investigation I concluded that this is actually a issues with the GHC sit server. Since I'm doing the pull over ssh, ssh passes my environment (include LC_*) to the server, but the server doesn't support en_AU.UTF-8.
To explore further, I sshed into darcs.haskell.org and it seems that locales are completely broken on this machine. Not even en_US.UTF-8 is support.
I suppose its not a big deal but it would be nice to fix so no one else wastes any time debugging this.

Sounds like someone needs to run "locale-gen en" on the server. More generally, who is now in charge of the server(s)? There is a nice wiki page about the proposed migration to gitolite, but I couldn't find the wiki page that describes the haskell.org infrastructure. Where is it hosted? Who are the sysadmins. Who is "in charge?" How can new people contribute? Geoff
