Bug#829093: Comment in locale C is misleading



Package: locales
Version: 2.22-13
Severity: minor

A comment in locale C says:

% ISO 8601 conforming applications should use the values 7, 19971201 (a
% Monday), and 4 (Thursday), respectively.

However, as verified with glibc people, this is (no longer?) true and the ISO
8601 week entry should always be "week    7;19971130;4" as it is correctly
defined in the locale.

So please remove or correct the comment.

Thanks.

Michael
