*** Bug 108617 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** FYI, the upstream GTK+ bug on this (closed since it's a locale issue) is http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318694 the locale definitions comes from glibc so you should send an e-mail to bug-glibc-locales@gnu.org noticed this also: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/langpack-locales/+bug/31814/ and the Debian bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=347323 (In reply to comment #5) > and the Debian bug report: > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=347323 > Thanks for the info. That Debian bug indicates an upstream bugfix, which I assume will make it into portage sometime soon. Now if only bug 116613 could be fixed so I would be able to compile glibc again... > Thanks for the info. That Debian bug indicates an upstream bugfix
no, that's just confusing in the report ... upstream glibc cvs is unchanged
The only problem I have filing this upstream against glibc is that I have glibc-2.3.5-r3. Due to the problem in bug 116613 I haven't been able to compile glibc since early January so I can't test this with 2.3.6 to confirm that it hasn't been fixed yet. If someone can confirm the locale data is identical between those releases I'll go ahead and file this. I am still seeing Saturday as the first day of the week for: sys-libs/glibc-2.3.6-r2 sys-libs/timezone-data-2006a /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific (In reply to comment #9) > I am still seeing Saturday as the first day of the week for: > sys-libs/glibc-2.3.6-r2 > sys-libs/timezone-data-2006a > /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific > Thanks. I'll go ahead with the upstream bug. please cc toolchain@gentoo.org on any upstream bug reports you file that concern Gentoo ... they can be a bit unfriendly when you say the word "Gentoo" :) (In reply to comment #11) > please cc toolchain@gentoo.org on any upstream bug reports you file that > concern Gentoo ... they can be a bit unfriendly when you say the word "Gentoo" > :) > Done. The bug is http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2372 Hopefully this bug report has enough info to inspire friendliness... Yeesh, my report seems to have generated two bugs, the first, 2371 with the full report and the second, 2372, with the first few lines :-p. You may want to post that comment to 2371. you should mark 2372 a dupe of 2371 then ... i would but i dont have any privs on the soureware bugzilla I updated to glibc-2.4. The locale data has been updated so the default C locale has Monday as the first_weekday instead of Saturday. en_US and en_US.UTF-8 both have Monday as first_weekday. I posted a comment about this on the upstream bug. Is there some standard that says that Monday is the first day of the week in the US even though every calendar I've seen in my life here has Sunday? In any case, here's the revised data: LC_ALL="" locale -k -c LC_TIME LC_TIME abday="Sun;Mon;Tue;Wed;Thu;Fri;Sat" day="Sunday;Monday;Tuesday;Wednesday;Thursday;Friday;Saturday" abmon="Jan;Feb;Mar;Apr;May;Jun;Jul;Aug;Sep;Oct;Nov;Dec" mon="January;February;March;April;May;June;July;August;September;October;November;December" am_pm="AM;PM" d_t_fmt="%a %d %b %Y %r %Z" d_fmt="%m/%d/%Y" t_fmt="%r" t_fmt_ampm="%I:%M:%S %p" era= era_year="" era_d_fmt="" alt_digits= era_d_t_fmt="" era_t_fmt="" time-era-num-entries=0 time-era-entries="S" week-ndays=7 week-1stday=19971201 week-1stweek=4 first_weekday=1 first_workday=1 cal_direction=1 timezone="" date_fmt="%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" time-codeset="UTF-8" LC_ALL=en_US locale -k -c LC_TIME LC_TIME abday="Sun;Mon;Tue;Wed;Thu;Fri;Sat" day="Sunday;Monday;Tuesday;Wednesday;Thursday;Friday;Saturday" abmon="Jan;Feb;Mar;Apr;May;Jun;Jul;Aug;Sep;Oct;Nov;Dec" mon="January;February;March;April;May;June;July;August;September;October;November;December" am_pm="AM;PM" d_t_fmt="%a %d %b %Y %r %Z" d_fmt="%m/%d/%Y" t_fmt="%r" t_fmt_ampm="%I:%M:%S %p" era= era_year="" era_d_fmt="" alt_digits= era_d_t_fmt="" era_t_fmt="" time-era-num-entries=0 time-era-entries="S" week-ndays=7 week-1stday=19971201 week-1stweek=4 first_weekday=1 first_workday=1 cal_direction=1 timezone="" date_fmt="%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" time-codeset="ISO-8859-1" LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 locale -k -c LC_TIME LC_TIME abday="Sun;Mon;Tue;Wed;Thu;Fri;Sat" day="Sunday;Monday;Tuesday;Wednesday;Thursday;Friday;Saturday" abmon="Jan;Feb;Mar;Apr;May;Jun;Jul;Aug;Sep;Oct;Nov;Dec" mon="January;February;March;April;May;June;July;August;September;October;November;December" am_pm="AM;PM" d_t_fmt="%a %d %b %Y %r %Z" d_fmt="%m/%d/%Y" t_fmt="%r" t_fmt_ampm="%I:%M:%S %p" era= era_year="" era_d_fmt="" alt_digits= era_d_t_fmt="" era_t_fmt="" time-era-num-entries=0 time-era-entries="S" week-ndays=7 week-1stday=19971201 week-1stweek=4 first_weekday=1 first_workday=1 cal_direction=1 timezone="" date_fmt="%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" time-codeset="UTF-8" Created attachment 85416 [details, diff]

(In reply to comment #16) > Created an attachment (id=85416) [edit] > fix-C-first_weekday.diff > > Debian is using this patch ... > I finally had a chance to test this patch. After: LC_ALL="" locale -k -c LC_TIME LC_TIME abday="Sun;Mon;Tue;Wed;Thu;Fri;Sat" day="Sunday;Monday;Tuesday;Wednesday;Thursday;Friday;Saturday" abmon="Jan;Feb;Mar;Apr;May;Jun;Jul;Aug;Sep;Oct;Nov;Dec" mon="January;February;March;April;May;June;July;August;September;October;November;December" am_pm="AM;PM" d_t_fmt="%a %d %b %Y %r %Z" d_fmt="%m/%d/%Y" t_fmt="%r" t_fmt_ampm="%I:%M:%S %p" era= era_year="" era_d_fmt="" alt_digits= era_d_t_fmt="" era_t_fmt="" time-era-num-entries=0 time-era-entries="S" week-ndays=7 week-1stday=19971201 week-1stweek=4 first_weekday=1 first_workday=1 cal_direction=1 timezone="" date_fmt="%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" time-codeset="UTF-8" So now having no locale set, we have the same settings as the current en_US locales, where Monday is the first_weekday as well as first_workday. That's better than Saturday! I'm not US-centric, if Monday is going to be the first day of the week as a default with no locale set, it doesn't bother me, but the en_US locales are still that way and that's just plain wrong. Whatever some folks may use for their work calendars, Sunday is the first day of the week in the US as a simple matter of fact. I know this is an upstream bug, but I really don't understand why it's so hard for upstream to get this right. With glibc 2.5, this problem seems to be fixed: locale -k -c LC_TIME LC_TIME abday="Sun;Mon;Tue;Wed;Thu;Fri;Sat" day="Sunday;Monday;Tuesday;Wednesday;Thursday;Friday;Saturday" abmon="Jan;Feb;Mar;Apr;May;Jun;Jul;Aug;Sep;Oct;Nov;Dec" mon="January;February;March;April;May;June;July;August;September;October;November;December" am_pm="AM;PM" d_t_fmt="%a %d %b %Y %r %Z" d_fmt="%m/%d/%Y" t_fmt="%r" t_fmt_ampm="%I:%M:%S %p" era= era_year="" era_d_fmt="" alt_digits= era_d_t_fmt="" era_t_fmt="" time-era-num-entries=0 time-era-entries="S" week-ndays=7 week-1stday=19971130 week-1stweek=7 first_weekday=1 first_workday=1 cal_direction=1 timezone="" date_fmt="%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" time-codeset="UTF-8" first_weekday is 1, which it should be! Same results for LANG=en_US. Now if a toolchain guru will let me know if this is an upstream fix or a Gentoo patch? If the former, I'll post to the upstream bug. i havent applied any patches that affect locales I've updated the upstream bug. If no one else with 2.5 has a locale issue, this could be closed. I'm on glibc 2.5 and I still have first_weekday=7 for LC_ALL="". For LC_ALL="en_US" I get the correct first_weekday=1. Jose daLuz: can you run LC_ALL="" locale -k -c LC_TIME and check if it really is correct? I'm guessing maybe you have a LANG="en_US" or something in your environment. cbm@aconite ~ $ LC_ALL="en_US" locale -k -c LC_TIME LC_TIME abday="Sun;Mon;Tue;Wed;Thu;Fri;Sat" day="Sunday;Monday;Tuesday;Wednesday;Thursday;Friday;Saturday" abmon="Jan;Feb;Mar;Apr;May;Jun;Jul;Aug;Sep;Oct;Nov;Dec" mon="January;February;March;April;May;June;July;August;September;October;November;December" am_pm="AM;PM" d_t_fmt="%a %d %b %Y %r %Z" d_fmt="%m/%d/%Y" t_fmt="%r" t_fmt_ampm="%I:%M:%S %p" era= era_year="" era_d_fmt="" alt_digits= era_d_t_fmt="" era_t_fmt="" time-era-num-entries=0 time-era-entries="S" week-ndays=7 week-1stday=19971130 week-1stweek=7 first_weekday=1 first_workday=1 cal_direction=1 timezone="" date_fmt="%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" time-codeset="ISO-8859-1" cbm@aconite ~ $ LC_ALL="" locale -k -c LC_TIME LC_TIME abday="Sun;Mon;Tue;Wed;Thu;Fri;Sat" day="Sunday;Monday;Tuesday;Wednesday;Thursday;Friday;Saturday" abmon="Jan;Feb;Mar;Apr;May;Jun;Jul;Aug;Sep;Oct;Nov;Dec" mon="January;February;March;April;May;June;July;August;September;October;November;December" am_pm="AM;PM" d_t_fmt="%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y" d_fmt="%m/%d/%y" t_fmt="%H:%M:%S" t_fmt_ampm="%I:%M:%S %p" era= era_year="" era_d_fmt="" alt_digits= era_d_t_fmt="" era_t_fmt="" time-era-num-entries=0 time-era-entries="" week-ndays=7 week-1stday=19971130 week-1stweek=4 first_weekday=7 first_workday=1 cal_direction=1 timezone="" date_fmt="%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" time-codeset="ANSI_X3.4-1968" cbm@aconite ~ $ I have LANG set to en_US.UTF-8. However: LC_ALL="" locale -k -c LC_TIME LC_TIME abday="Sun;Mon;Tue;Wed;Thu;Fri;Sat" day="Sunday;Monday;Tuesday;Wednesday;Thursday;Friday;Saturday" abmon="Jan;Feb;Mar;Apr;May;Jun;Jul;Aug;Sep;Oct;Nov;Dec" mon="January;February;March;April;May;June;July;August;September;October;November;December" am_pm="AM;PM" d_t_fmt="%a %d %b %Y %r %Z" d_fmt="%m/%d/%Y" t_fmt="%r" t_fmt_ampm="%I:%M:%S %p" era= era_year="" era_d_fmt="" alt_digits= era_d_t_fmt="" era_t_fmt="" time-era-num-entries=0 time-era-entries="S" week-ndays=7 week-1stday=19971130 week-1stweek=7 first_weekday=1 first_workday=1 cal_direction=1 timezone="" date_fmt="%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" time-codeset="UTF-8" So my first_weekday is still 1. Perhaps the time-codeset difference between us may have something to do with it? Re: time-codeset, sounds promising, but unfortunately I don't know where that gets set (I don't have any LC_* stuff in any of my .bash* files and AFAIK, I've never changed anything relating to locales). Just wanted to mention that this affects Orage, the calendar application with the imminent xfce4.4 release.

This bug was fixed for the en_US locale in glibc-2.5 but it's still wrong for the POSIX locale. upstream says this should be set ... if you disagree, post to the upstream report (In reply to comment #27) > upstream says this should be set ... if you disagree, post to the upstream > report Could you clarify... upstream says what should be set?
