Anyone know the story behind the apparent change in default 'ls' output
on Debian - at least compared to all of the other Linux (and Unix) systems
I have used?
The difference I am referring to is the date format used when the
'-l' option is used.
For example, "ls -ld ." on the following systems produces:
SuSE:
drwxr-xr-x 50 digbyt digbyt 8192 Feb 6 17:28 .
Gentoo:
drwxr-xr-x 40 digbyt digbyt 4096 Feb 8 14:35 .
BSD/OS
drwxr-xr-x 2 digbyt digbyt 14848 Feb 9 02:05 .
Solaris:
drwxr-x--x 16 digbyt staff 1024 Jan 28 08:31 .
But on Debian:
drwxr-xr-x 22 digbyt digbyt 2048 2006-02-09 01:55 .
I know I can produce the traditional format using
ls -l --time-style=locale
and the default seems to correspond to
ls -l --time-style=long-iso
But why has what I thought was a standard install produced a different
default to all the other systems I have tried, and how do I change this
default system wide (not just my personal account)? I really want the
change to Debian to be as invisible as possible to normal users...
