I totally agree with Alexandre's opinion (the assumptions made by the patch being wrong on so many levels); extending with a fifth one: Even if there are some French words present in a list, if you're using a certain language then the alphabetical rules of that language should apply, not the French one. This is what locale definitions are about. Define in the French locales the way to sort words on a French UI, but please leave the other locales alone. I'm disappointed that such a change that was doomed to break so many locales managed to make it into glibc. But I think that in the end it boils down to the lack of proper unittest coverage. In the above mentioned bug I created an extensive unittest for Hungarian, one that points to the official rules of alphabetical sorting and takes the examples from that (plus many more), and would have failed with this change. I encourage maintainers of locale files to come up with similarly extensive unittests. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
