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

 

As regards Ubuntu, the source package is langpack-locales, not glibc.
You can go to

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/langpack-
locales/2.13+git20120306-19

and download the langpack-locales_2.13+git20120306-19.debian.tar.xz
file. When extracting it, you'll find the patch, which adds
first_weekday to pt_PT, in debian/patches/debian-first_weekday.diff .

(Basically the same patch is present in the source of the locales
package in Debian.)

As regards first_workday, it defaults to 2, so it doesn't matter that
it's not explicitly set. Hence the output from my terminal commands in
comment #1.

Please file another bug report if you observe some wrong behavior in
this respect on a current Ubuntu install.

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:
