Google give pointers to lists.gnu.org, but this site seems to be down for several days. Anyway there is another thread at http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-gnu-utils/2000-03/msg00218.html My understanding is that d_t_fmt is defined in the POSIX locale as "%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y". Other locales chose also compact format, which is why there was a need for a more readable date_fmt field. > This is the most conservative change to "%c", which makes > sense in Faroese: > > % LANG=fo_FO date +"%a. %d. %b. %Y %H:%M:%S %Z" > mán. 02. mai. 2005 09:25:48 CEST Looks very good to me, I committed this change into my tree. Thanks Denis
