While we are at this, could I ask you to do some renaming in the CVS
repository? I did some mistakes, my pardons, and now, when people send more
and more locale tests, these errors become more important.

In the directory src/test/locale two directories should be renamed:
ISO8859-7 should be named gr_GR.ISO8859-7
de_DE.ISO-8859-1 should be renamed to de_DE.ISO8859-1

What about symlinks there? Can you add symlink ru_RU.KOI8-R pointing to
the directory koi8-r? I don't want to rename directory koi8-r 'cause there
is koi8-to-win1251 that contains the multibyte cyrillic tests.

Gee, it is pretty late in beta to be doing this. Comments?

I am not in hurry. I just want to understand is it at all possible, esp.
symlinks. I am not sure how well CVS goes with symlinks.
But month after month I'll collect locale tests from people, so at any
rate I'll need more consistent scheme.

No idea, but I would hope it would work.

Is this something that is safe to do just before a release like this? If
so, I'll do it ... if not, someone remind me right afer the release ..

The rename from de_DE.ISO-8859-1 to de_DE.ISO8859-1 sounds reasonable,
since that is the correct name, the prior is bogus. The only other wording I
know does exist
somewhere is de_DE.8859-1 .

The reason why this was undetected is probably because most de_DE
installations
will probably not use --enable-locale.

Don't see what's dangerous about it. The absolute worst case,
if Andreas is mistaken, is that the locale-specific tests stop
working for these locales. But I believe what he's asserting
is that they're broken already ... so how could you be making
it worse?

Done, please test to confirm ...

I don't see any problem here. Locale tests are completely separated from
backend; changes in the tests will not affect postgres in any way.
