https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D244801 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 revi= sion 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_cale= ndar_per_country for example). I would suggest at least removing the entry for "Latin". Reported by: Hamid Ali. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
