Subject: bash_profile: Slightly more intelligent locale handling.
X-Git-Url: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~mdw/git/profile/commitdiff_plain/703b345db47db286d852a77fe91a1000151e86b6?ds=inline;hp=--cc

bash_profile: Slightly more intelligent locale handling.

First of all, set LANG and LC_COLLATE and leave the rest alone.  LANG
defaults most of the other variables, and forcing LC_COLLATE=POSIX fixes
the stupidity of ls(1) ordering things case-insensitively.

Secondly, if there's no DISPLAY, and TERM is `linux', prod vt-is-UTF8(1)
to find out which locale to use.
