[PATCH 0/2] Abbreviated month name updates for lt_LT and el_* [BZ 22932,22937]

[PATCH 0/2] Abbreviated month name updates for lt_LT and el_* [BZ 22932,22937]

[Rafal Luzynski]

There are requests to update Lithuanian and Greek abbreviated month
names from CLDR.  In case of Lithuanian the patch is clear and probably
does not need explanation.  In Greek it turns out that they actually
need the ab_alt_mon (and "%Ob") feature.

Here is a decoded version of the patch for el_CY:

The patch for el_GR is exactly the same.

I hope to push it to master and backport to 2.27.

[PATCH 1/2] lt_LT locale: Update abbreviated month names (bug 22932).

[Rafal Luzynski]

A GNOME translator asked to use the same abbreviated month names
as provided by CLDR.  This sounds reasonable.  See the discussion:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793645#c27

[PATCH 2/2] Greek (el_CY, el_GR) locales: Introduce ab_alt_mon (bug 22937).

[Rafal Luzynski]

As spotted by GNOME translation team, Greek language has the actually
visible difference between the abbreviated nominative and the abbreviated
genitive case for some month names, for example May:

abbreviated nominative: "Μάι" -> abbreviated genitive: "Μαΐ"

July:

abbreviated nominative: "Ιούν" -> abbreviated genitive: "Ιουλ"

and more month names with similar differences.

From the 2.27 stable backport we can pull this into a Fedora 28 update
without issue because the binary format is already there.

Cheers,
