bug#60987: R: bug#60987: 30.0.50; Calendar not accepting custom holidays

Commented out my config in init.el and put it there, reloaded emacs (to make sure there is no conflict)

And nothing, I still get the non localized ones. Tried with emacs -Q and evaluated the forms (both with and without

require), still nothing. Tried on official build in emacs 28.2 and it seems to work, this evenining I will try to build

emacs from source myself (both main and emacs-29 branch), I will see what happens.

 

> Can you tell me more about this?  It sounds very bad and important.

 

It’s a 6 month contract in the private sector. They’ve given me a laptop with windows but I’m really limited about what

I can or cannot do with it. For example I could not install and use Cygwin, and I had to install MSYS2 via a package manager

called Scoop, that basically installs everything under its own folder living in the user home. I also cannot install WSL as that

needs to be enabled via Windows Additional Features (the motivation given to me was that it interferes with other VM solutions

and I don’t know enough about windows to say otherwise, since I’ve been using GNU/Linux for 10+ Years (fedora and now guix on

my desktop). I can’t even choose which browser or which extensions I am supposed to use (yes, it’s bad, but as far as I know while

not a common experience, it isn’t particularly uncommon either).
