Installation fails in db:migrate with Finnish locale

Thanks for the pointer! Apparently “entropy” means the number of distinct characters, which is not how my statistics teacher would define it, but it’s used as just a label for the property of the title not being something like “abababababab”. I could get a Discourse site up in Finnish with these changes:

I’m not sure that the locale-gen line is critical, but it suppressed a lot of warnings from perl. The git checkout looks like an oversight in the script: it retrieves origin/$version (where $version is something like tests-passed) but then checks out the local $version without merging in the latest changes. The locale-gen and perl commands are really quick-and-dirty modifications; you folks probably have some better ways of doing that.
