Package: locales
Version: 2.11.3-3
Severity: normal
While the exotic form "Feber" does exist in parts of Austria and southern
Germany, it is by no means the standard. Some old folks still know it exists,
hardly anybody in Austria actually uses it. It must be "Februar".
This causes me pain, because date-formatting is heavily used in our publishing
company. PostgreSQL relies on the system locale and I have to special case the
month every time. I fix /usr/share/i18n/locales/de_AT locally and run
locale-gen. But it won't stick. The file is overwritten with every locale
update - and I do want those updates.
So, could this be fixed for good? Would be among the simplest bugfix ever:
s/"<U0046><U0065><U0062><U0065><U0072>";/"<U0046><U0065><U0062><U0072><U0075><U0041><U0072>";/
Regards
Erwin
