yes, it's a very big annoyance that spread across all distros. Mandrake has already solved it in their glibc version but it should be fixed here once and for ever. I agree that all locales where the native yes/no expression don't start with 'y' and 'n' should list 'Yy' in yesexpr and 'Nn' in noexpr. But I am not sure if the glibc developers agree with me on this, and even if they do, it will take a while to make patches to fix this in all the locales missing it. Someone knowledgable about the locales need to provide patches. If you understand arabic, please provide a patch for the arabic locales. Would it be possible to make most arabic locales 'copy' the yes/no regex from one arabic locale, to avoid duplication? At the moment not all the arabic locales use the same regex. Should they? First, as a native Arabic speaker I confirm and stress the fact that all Arabic locales should use the same regex. Second, it's highly recommended if possible that all arabic locales 'copy'the yes/no regex from one arabic locale, sepcifically, ar_EG as mentioned by Pablo is correct. At the moment, this affects locales af_ZA, ar_AE, ar_BH, ar_DZ, ar_EG, ar_IN, ar_IQ, ar_JO, ar_KW, ar_LB, ar_LY, ar_MA, ar_OM, ar_QA, ar_SA, ar_SD, ar_SY, ar_TN, ar_YE, az_AZ, bn_IN, kw_GB, ml_IN, oc_FR, ta_IN, te_IN and tr_TR. Subject: Bug 305 CVSROOT: /cvs/glibc Module name: libc Changes by: drepper@sources.redhat.com 2004-12-10 10:43:31 Modified files: nis/nss_nisplus: nisplus-netgrp.c Log message: (_nss_nisplus_getnetgrent_r): Add check if the value is not an empty string. [BZ #305] Patches: http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/nis/nss_nisplus/nisplus-netgrp.c.diff?cvsroot=glibc&r1=1.13&r2=1.14 I fixed the locales I saw. Open new bugs for additional locales which need to change. |
