Description of problem:
The Japanese Era name will be changed on 2019-05-01 / component icu / rhel5
icu code is referring to the japanese era name.

(snippet from the rhel7 icu code)
 364 void IntlCalendarTest::TestJapanese() {
 365     UDate timeA = Calendar::getNow();

 389         -1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1
 390     };

Actual results:
No reference to the upcoming era.

Expected results:
The upcoming era name should properly be dealed with.

Additional info:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_imperial_transition,_2019
- the new era name has not yet been announced.
- We also have to modify glibc (for example bz1555189) and openjdk.

Sure, we will test this.

Comment 6 Jens Petersen 2019-06-20 14:50:44 UTC
Not sure why this bug didn't move to VERIFIED.
Though the errata says "State REL_PREP invalid."?

Any idea, Tomas?

Comment 7 Jens Petersen 2019-06-20 15:17:37 UTC
Okay I guess the errata is fine: that invalid state just refers to pushing to CDN.

Seems VERIFIED can only be set by ET?

Well that is actually not true, QE should set to verified before erratum is moved to REL_PREP. Because REL_PREP means QE is done with it, including bug verification.

Satya maybe somebody just forgot about this bz?

Comment 9 Satyabrata Maitra 2019-06-24 04:32:53 UTC
QE will finish verification of this bug by EOD. We are already in process.
