[Bug 1442207] Re: Wrong (work-)week start for pt_PT

 

Hi Gunnar. (Congratulations on your membership by the way!)

I have not used Ubuntu in a couple of years over "irreconcilable design-related differences".
During this time I distro-hopped around Debian, Fedora and perhaps two Ubuntu derivatives, and as far as I could tell, this issue was present in all these distributions (and upstream).

In the newer (hehe) Debian sources I could find a first_weekday but no first_workday. (via http://sources.debian.net)
And I could not find these entries in Ubuntu's glibc 2.21 sources... Could you tell me where are these definitions stored in the latest sources?

Sorry for the trouble.

Title:
   Wrong (work-)week start for pt_PT

Status in langpack-locales package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  According to the default pt_PT definitions, the (work-)week start is
  set at Sunday, which is incorrect.

  The correct (work-)week start is Monday, because Portugal abides by EN
  28601:1992, since it became an European Union member 6 years prior to
  issue of that norm.

  pt_PT was the only European Union locale that did not get the needed
  correction in these definitions.

  Therefore I request to have the first_weekday and first_workday
  entries entries set at LC_TIME with the default value of 2 (which
  stands for Monday) for the pt_PT locale.

  Thank you.

  Post Scriptum:

  There is no need for Ubuntu/package version information because this
  bug is quite ancient (20+ years?) and precedes the birth of the Ubuntu
  distribution.

  I opened a bug-report entry upstream at the following location:
  https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17565
