Well, I have to comment on this finally.
First of all, the patch that was actually applied
(http://git.altlinux.org/gears/g/..git?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=glibc-2.13-145-gf498392)
does something very different from its description (Lowercase month names).
Besides the change of abbreviated month names to lowercase (which is probably
OK), it also slipped in a mix of other changes:
- change of abbreviated day names from fixed three-letter form to fixed
two-letter form (actually fixes
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10873 which provides a good set
of references);
- unjustified addition of trailing dots to abbreviated day names (it's plain
wrong);
- unjustified addition of trailing dots to abbreviated month names (it's also
plain wrong);
- unjustified change of abbreviated month names from nominative to genitive
(it's also wrong and it actually reverts the fix made for
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=525);
- unjustified change of abbreviated month names from fixed three-letter form to
variable length form (just a nonsense).
Second, the procedure of describing changes, getting an approval from the
locale maintainer and providing good references (as described in
http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Contribution%20checklist#Qualification_.28Locales.29)
was totally scrapped.
What I suggest in the way of recovery is to revert all these unjustified
changes. The only changes that can remain are:
- change of abbreviated month names to lowercase (a fix for this bug report);
- change of abbreviated day names to two-letter form (a fix for
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10873).
