Hi!
Christopher Baines <address@hidden> skribis:
* gnu/services/postgresql.scm (<postgresql-configuration>): Add locale

Note: this should use the “normalized codeset”, so “en_US.utf8”.

The effect of that is that ‘initdb’, but not ‘postgresql’ itself, would
run in a locale different from the system locale by default.
These two inconsistencies may be quite confusing. WDYT?
