             Bug #: 15403
           Summary: en_CA locale should use 4-digit year
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.17
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: software@zerker.ca
                CC: libc-locales@sourceware.org
    Classification: Unclassified


The current date-time format for en_CA uses the 2-digit year (%y) for the short
date format. After the year 2000, it has become customary to use a 4-digit date
to avoid confusion. The en_US locale has already been updated to use a 4-digit
date, but the en_CA locale is unfortunately left behind.

Created attachment 7003
  --> http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=7003
en_CA patch

Easily done. Note that I forgot I had Geany set to automatically convert tabs
to spaces, which resulted in one more change in the patch. Since the entire
rest of the file uses spaces to begin with, I figured that was also a
worthwhile change and left it in.

I would appreciate if this bug wasn't treated as exactly the same as bug 9842.
Bug 9842 is about the difference between d/m/y and y-m-d.

This bug is simply about getting a 4-digit year on the en_CA locale, which I
think we can all agree on. I tested my patch, and it's still valid. So long as
someone can accept the patch, the bug can be closed and bug 9842 can remain
open for the corresponding (probably lengthy) debate.
