[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#950862: exa: hardcoded weird 7-bit collation

[Adam Borowski]

Package: exa
Version: 0.9.0-2
Severity: normal

Hi!
I'm afraid that exa uses a hard-coded collation no matter what you try to
configure.  It uppercases every byte's value then sorts as bytes.

Thus:
* LC_COLLATE=C.UTF-8 nor LC_COLLATE=C don't produce traditional order
* non-ASCII letters behave differently from 7-bit (only latter are uppercased)
* Turkic locales don't get ı↔I i↔ İ
* language specific collation isn't obeyed (a<ą<b)
and so on.


Meow!
