Please add support for Esperanto (eo) on the machine that serves fyfx.stage.mozilla.com. On Ubuntu, that would require installing language-pack-eo-base, if I'm not mistaken. Thanks.

CC'ing Eduardo, our Esperanto localizer. Eduardo -- it appears that RHEL which runs on the staging server's machine doesn't support Esperanto out of the box. Do you have any ideas on how to enable Esperanto support?
Not only staging, production will be RHEL too and I'm personally not too comfortable hacking RHEL and pushing in locale support.
I'm looking into it. It would not be much of a hacking. But I'm trying to get access to a box with RHEL so I can do it myself and then let you know. In the meantime, do you think would it be possible to use another supported locale? (one that is not in use already).

You have these packages ready to install (depending on the architecture): http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/mandriva/2009.1/x86_64/media/main/release/locales-eo-2.9-4mdv2009.1.x86_64.html or http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/mandriva/2009.1/i586/media/main/release/locales-eo-2.9-4mdv2009.1.i586.html Will that do? Locales are safe to install, they will not mess with the server configuration.
I'm going to hold off for a bit till Stas can confirm that we can't use another locale. The mandriva RPM requires it's own set of deps and I'm not really keen on going down that path unless we have to.

I checked in a work-around in r55168 and r55169, <http://fyfx.stage.mozilla.com/eo/> works now. Eduardo, I used it_CH.utf8 for eo. If you have better ideas for an existing but not used locale code, feel free to suggest. This is a hacky work-around and it works only because the site is a simple one and doesn't make use of LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC nor LC_TIME. We got lucky this time, but the issue persists and I'll file a follow-up bug to track this server-wide for the future. Resolving wontfix.
