From the bug:
Netherlands Antilles was dissolved, and "AN" is not a part of ISO 3166
anymore. According to setlocale(3), "territory is an ISO 3166 country
code". We now have pap_AW and pap_CW.

This updates a bunch of locales based on CLDR v28 data:
ar_SS: int_prefix: changing 249 to 211
bn_BD: int_prefix: changing 88 to 880
dz_BT: int_prefix: changing 66 to 975
en_HK: int_prefix: changing to 852
en_PH: int_prefix: changing to 63
en_SG: int_prefix: changing to 65
es_DO: int_prefix: changing 1809 to 1
es_PA: int_prefix: changing 502 to 507
es_PR: int_prefix: changing 1787 to 1
km_KH: int_prefix: changing 856 to 855
mt_MT: int_prefix: changing to 356
ne_NP: int_prefix: changing 91 to 977
pap_AW: int_prefix: changing 599 to 297
the_NP: int_prefix: changing 91 to 977
tk_TM: int_prefix: changing to 993
uz_UZ: int_prefix: changing 27 to 998
zh_SG: int_prefix: changing to 65
I've also checked these against https://countrycode.org/.
Note: the Dominican Republic (DO) and Puerto Rico (PR) updates are
correct: they both use +1. Historically, DO had one area code of
809 and PR of 787 which is why they were listed as such, but they
have both expanded into 829 and 989 respectively, so using the four
digit value is def incorrect now.
The only official source is the "Official spelling dictionary of the
Bulgarian language, Prosveta 2012", which states there are three ways
to separate time components: comma, colon and dot. That same dictionary
doesn't say which one is preferred.
So I turned to the mailing list of the translators of free software in
Bulgarian. The consensus is that colon is the only separator that is
widely used in Bulgarian texts and everything else will just be confusing.

This patch makes the automation of Unicode LC_CTYPE generation also
support generating the modified LC_CTYPE used for Turkish (where case
conversions of 'i' and 'I' differ from ASCII conventions), so allowing
that to be more readily kept in sync for future Unicode updates. The
patch includes the locale update generated by the scripts.
Tested for x86_64.
[BZ #18491]
* unicode-gen/unicode_utils.py (to_upper_turkish): New function.
(to_lower_turkish): Likewise.
* unicode-gen/gen_unicode_ctype.py (output_tables): Support
producing output with Turkish case conversions.
(--turkish): New command-line option.
* unicode-gen/Makefile (GENERATED): Add tr_TR.
(tr_TR): New rule.
* locales/tr_TR: Regenerate LC_CTYPE.
Update __STDC_ISO_10646__ to 201505L for Unicode 8.0.0.
Update character encoding, ctype, and transliteration tables.
New scripts autogenerate transliteration tables.
- Remove duplicate transliterations for U+0152 and U+0153 from
C-translit.h.in.
- Change Ö U+00D6 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH STROKE → O
(instead of → OE)
- Change ö U+00F6 LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH STROKE → o
(instead of → oe)
- Add ₹ U+20B9 INDIAN RUPEE SIGN → INR
- Add ₫ U+20AB DONG SIGN → Dong (in addition to "₫ → Đồng")
- Add many others from
http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/browser/trunk/common/transforms/Latin-ASCII.xml
- Add some more currency signs suggested by Marko Myllynen
- Add another patch with more characters by Marko Myllynen
The previous (11th) version of the Hungarian spelling rules (released
in 1984) said that the separator had to be a dot, e.g. 10.35 meaning
10 o'clock 35 minutes. glibc correctly implements this.
The brand new (12th) version, in effect since September 1, 2015 adopts
to the common use of colon (especially in the digital world) and
allows to use either separator, without even expressing a preference.
For computer systems, using colons is way more typical and probably
easier to recognize. Dot is typically used in printed materials.
It also avoids an almost ambiguous situation where a space makes a
difference, e.g. "10.15-ig" means "until 10 o'clock 15 minutes"
whereas "10. 15-ig" means "until 15th of October". So I believe using
the colon as the separator is not only more frequent in the computer
world, but is also easier and quicker to recognize for the brain that
it's about hour:minute rather than month and day. And luckily it's now
equally correct according to the official rules.
11th edition: http://helyesiras.mta.hu/helyesiras/default/akh11
12th edition: http://helyesiras.mta.hu/helyesiras/default/akh12
In both editions it's the very last (299th and 300th, respectively) rule.
Microsoft also uses and recommends a colon since at least May 2011:

The time format is different in common language and in the language of
IT. In common texts we usually do not abbreviate, so the full forms are
used: “7 óra 10 perckor csörgött a telefon”. However, the short format,
consisting of numerals only, can also be used. In this case a period
must be used between the two numbers and there must not be a space
between them: “találkozzunk 10.45-kor”.
However, in software mostly the short format is used, and the numbers
are separated by a colon. An obvious example is the clock in the bottom
right corner of your screen, thus 18:31.
lang_lib (which reflects ISO 639-2/B (bibliographic) codes) and
lang_term (which reflects ISO 639-2/T (terminology) codes) should be
identical except for those languages for which ISO 639-2 specifies
separate bibliographic/terminology values.
I used this Library of Congress page as the source:
http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php
as discussed in the thread starting at
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-06/msg00098.html
it looks like the best options is to remove locale timezone information
from locales which currently provide it (in incomplete or incorrect
fashion) rather than to start duplicating tzdata info in glibc.
repertoire maps and character mnemonics were used early in the glibc
i18n/l10n effort but were quickly deprecated in favor of Unicode code
points. According to ChangeLog, the in-tree repertoire maps were
removed 2000-07-07 but some stray references remain even today. The
patch below removes them.
After renaming localedef now complains and build fails
LC_ADDRESS: field `lang_ab' must not be defined
earlier the names were similar to lang_ab definitions 'tu' or 'bh'
but after rename they are not.
Bhili [1] and Tulu [2] language does not have iso-639-1 codes. Patch
moves locale file with correct code and also fix iso-639.def.

per iso639-3.
In the introduction for the official orthography rules for Ukrainian
language (http://spelling.ulif.org.ua/peredmova.htm) there's a note
that only apostrophe does not affect order of the words when sorting.
As could be seen from the official alphabet the soft sign
(U+044C/U+042C) has its hard position and thus affects the order and
also letters "е" and "є" (CYR-IE: U+0435/U+0415 and UKR-IE:
U+0454/U+0404) have their own positions and should have separate place
when sorting.
This also corresponds to official Unicode collation chart for these
letters: http://unicode.org/charts/collation/chart_Cyrillic.html
Both bo_CN and bo_IN were not compiling. The following fix
gets them into a usable state again giving a clean build
result for `make localedata/install-locales`.
