However, it looks quite nice, there is one, I might suspect, unpredicted problem. There seem to be a tradition that abbreviations were exactly three characters long. Some programmes (e.g. mc) *assume* such constraint and fail to display dates properly, especially August causes some problems (see attachment). I suggest to revert that change back to what was in 1.18. I am also not sure weather weekdays (abday) abbreviations should be in capital letters but I am also not convinced that they shouldn't. -- Summary: pl_PL, Roman numbers as abbreviated month names Product: glibc Version: unspecified Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: localedata AssignedTo: libc-locales at sources dot redhat dot com ReportedBy: stlman at poczta dot fm CC: glibc-bugs at sources dot redhat dot com http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4098 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
