A date gives the user additional information. How long since the last change? Do I really need to update? Using yyyymmdd gives a monotonically increasing number and an idea of how long it has been since changes were made. That is my preference. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
