Hi! While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed that ruby-standalone could not be built reproducibly. The language of the date in the manpage varies by configured locale. The attached patch fixes this by setting LC_ALL instead of LANG to C, and also normalizes the date output to use UTC. Regards, Reiner [1]: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds
