Can I ask why icu-sword is being maintained as a fork instead of pushing the additional features upstream? I am working on packaging several tools (including Xiphos and Lyricue) for another distro. We have icu already and it seems like adding an icu-sword package will only create conflicts. -- [[User:alerque|Caleb Maclennan]] 10:30, 21 May 2010 (UTC) | Can I ask why icu-sword is being maintained as a fork instead of pushing the additional features upstream?

Unused locales?
How does CrossWire keep track of which locales to remove from ICU to build icu-sword? As we continue to widen the number of supported locales in various front-end applications, especially Xiphos, is there a risk that the build process for icu-sword will fail to keep track of what is required?
