[Message part 2 (message/rfc822, inline)]
The patch for glibc 2.28 and earlier replaces the same content, but the context
in the patch is different enough to fail to merge.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (make-glibc-locales)[source]: Add patch.
* gnu/packages/patches/glibc-locales-2.29.patch: New file.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.

+This patch allows us to use glibc's build system to build locales
+in a package separate from glibc.
+
+ 1. Use 'localedef' from $PATH since we are not rebuilding it.
+ 2. Use '--no-archive' to avoid building the big locale archive, and
+ because the already-built 'localedef' would want to write it
+ to '/run/current-system/locale', which is not possible.
+ 3. Pass $(inst_complocaledir)/$$locale to install files in the right
+ place, and because otherwise, 'localedef' fails with:
+ "cannot write output files to `(null)'".
