A translation defined time string (a string that depends on the language, if I understand correctly) is not sufficient: for each language, there are many ways to represent a date, and each user has his own preferences. For me, it is "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" for all dates. Note: for coreutils, the format of timestamps of files is specified by the $TIME_STYLE environment variable. I mention this because timestamps of files and timestamps of feed items are a bit similar. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
