Subject: [PATCH] locale.5: remove the FIXME for timezone
Date: Tue, 09 Jun 2015 17:19:14 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5576F5E2.7050301@redhat.com> (raw)

Hi Michael,

the timezone of LC_TIME is not in POSIX, only 6 (out of ~300)
glibc locales define it, the glibc code comment below from
glibc.git/programs/ld-time.c seems to suggest it's not a good
idea, and there's been a proposal in upstream [1] to remove the
existing timezone definitions from glibc locales so I think
it's actually better to leave this one undocumented:

/* XXX We don't perform any tests on the timezone value since this is
   simply useless, stupid $&$!@...  */

1) https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-06/msg00098.html

Move the remaining LC_COLLATE FIXMEs together while at it.
