RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Steve Bonneville 2012-03-15 17:48:23 UTC
Description of problem:

In /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.75.2/common, the pt_br.xml and pt.xml files are missing characters used in Portuguese in the lowercase.alpha and uppercase.alpha gentext definitions.

The effect of this was seen when using Publican to build documentation translated into Portuguese.  The brand in question automatically puts chapter titles into all-caps; but the missing accented characters were not capitalized because the defined set of "lowercase" and "uppercase" characters for Portuguese is incomplete in the current docbook-style-xsl package.

Lines 205-206 of pt_br.xml currently read:
<l:gentext key="lowercase.alpha" text="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"/>
<l:gentext key="uppercase.alpha" text="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"/>

The corrected lines SHOULD read:
<l:gentext key="lowercase.alpha" text="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzàáâãéêíóôõúüç"/>
<l:gentext key="uppercase.alpha" text="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZÀÁÂÃÉÊÍÓÔÕÚÜÇ"/>

The pt.xml file will need a similar correction.  Compare fr.xml or de.xml for reference to languages that have similar extended character sets properly defined.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

docbook-style-xsl-1.75.2-6.el6 

(docbook-style-xsl-1.76.1-1.fc14 is also known to be affected, Fedora that isn't EOL has not been checked yet)

Comment 6 Wander Boessenkool 2014-01-29 16:55:56 UTC
Also present in F19 docbook-style-xsl-1.78.1

Comment 10 Ondrej Vasik 2017-01-03 14:36:09 UTC
Quick update - in 1.79.1 it was fixed upstream for pt.xml - I'll request update for pt-BR as well - as RHEL 6 is in production phase 2 now, I see update in RHEL 6 very unlikely, though.

Comment 12 Ondrej Vasik 2017-08-30 12:48:02 UTC
Clean up, this is not production phase 3 material, pt was fixed upstream, pt-BR has upstream pull request. Closing WONTFIX for RHEL 6, sorry.

Comment 13 Ondrej Vasik 2018-06-12 08:06:02 UTC
Just short update, patch was merged upstream.
