https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=244801 Bug ID: 244801 Summary: ncal prints bogus information for Julian/Gregorian change date Product: Base System Version: Unspecified Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: grog@FreeBSD.org ncal -p prints a table with the transition date from Julian to Gregorian for some, but by no means all, "countries". It also includes an entry for the country "Latin", with a transition date 9999-5-31. The commit log for revision r45064 clarifies that this is because 9999-12-12 is out of range. It's not clear why this entry was ever added. Many real countries (Armenia and Azerbaijan, for example) aren't in this list. Arguably the entire functionality should be removed; it's not needed for anything else in the program, and more up-to-date information is now readily available on the web (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_adoption_dates_of_the_Gregorian_calendar_per_country for example). I would suggest at least removing the entry for "Latin". Reported by: Hamid Ali. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
