Bug ID: 211762
Summary: Some locale definitions have defects
Product: Base System
Version: 10.3-STABLE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: conf
Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
Reporter: khw at cpan.org
Some of the locale definitions that come with 10.3 have defects. These
include:
[:lower:] matches 0xDF but [:alpha:]) doesn't with locales
'lt_LT.ISO8859-13'
'lv_LV.ISO8859-13'
0xBD should be [:upper:] but isn't in 'lv_LV.ISO8859-13'
In case you are not aware of it, you can pretty much get out of the business of
supporting UTF-8 locale definitions by using the freely available POSIX ones
supplied by Unicode. The recent releases, you have to generate them yourself
from the CLDR DB. I can't seem to find the link to the tool that does it, just
now.
Earlier versions had them pre-computed:
