--- Begin Message ---Package: libc6 Version: 2.2.2-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi, Here's a proposal for changing the fi_FI locale date formats to something which is recommended by the Finnish language office and commonly used in Finland. I have sent the patch 2001-03-09 upstream to bug-gnu-libc and keld , the maintainer of POSIX locales specificied in the documentation. Current format: $ date to maalis 8 14:51:33 EET 2001 $ date +%x 08.03.2001 $ date +%X 14:49:52 $ date +%c to 8 maaliskuu 2001 14:51:37 Proposed zero-padded format: $ date to 08.03.2001 14.49.52 $ date +%x 08.03.2001 $ date +%X 14.49.52 $ date +%c torstai 8. maaliskuuta 2001 14.50.04 Rationale: 1) date(1) default format "to maalis 8" is not correct Finnish usage. Assuming a relatively short format, "to 8.3.2001 14.54.31" is what would be expected. 2) strftime %x format although zero-padding is not the common usage with dates, probably it's best to use zero-padding to make listings etc. appear correctly. 3) strftime %X format zero-padding is common for time string, separator is '.' instead of ':*. 4) strftime %c format "to 8 maaliskuu 2001 14:51:37" is not grammatically correct; the correct usage is "torstai 8. maaliskuuta 2001 14.50.04". Zero-padding or space-padding is not necessary, as the lenght of the strings varies in either case. ------------------------------ Proposed patch for %c, default date format and time format change for localedata/locales/fi_FI: *** fi_FI-debian-orig Fri Feb 16 21:14:13 2001 --- fi_FI Thu Mar 8 17:19:16 2001 *************** *** 2179,2192 **** "<U006C><U006F><U006B><U0061><U006B><U0075><U0075>";/ "<U006D><U0061><U0072><U0072><U0061><U0073><U006B><U0075><U0075>";/ "<U006A><U006F><U0075><U006C><U0075><U006B><U0075><U0075>" ! d_t_fmt "<U0025><U0061><U0020><U0025><U0065><U0020><U0025><U0042><U0020><U0025>\ <U0059><U0020><U0025><U0054>" d_fmt "<U0025><U0064><U002E><U0025><U006D><U002E><U0025><U0059>" ! t_fmt "<U0025><U0054>" am_pm "";"" t_fmt_ampm "" ! date_fmt "<U0025><U0061><U0020><U0025><U0062><U0020><U0025><U0065>/ ! <U0020><U0025><U0048><U003A><U0025><U004D><U003A><U0025><U0053><U0020>/ ! <U0025><U005A><U0020><U0025><U0059>" END LC_TIME LC_MESSAGES --- 2179,2191 ---- "<U006C><U006F><U006B><U0061><U006B><U0075><U0075>";/ "<U006D><U0061><U0072><U0072><U0061><U0073><U006B><U0075><U0075>";/ "<U006A><U006F><U0075><U006C><U0075><U006B><U0075><U0075>" ! d_t_fmt "<U0025><U0041><U0020><U0025><U002D><U0064><U002E><U0020><U0025><U0042>\ <U0074><U0061><U0020><U0025><U0059><U0020><U0025><U0048><U002E><U0025><U004D><U002\ E><U0025><U0053><U0020>" d_fmt "<U0025><U0064><U002E><U0025><U006D><U002E><U0025><U0059>" ! t_fmt "<U0025><U0048><U002E><U0025><U004D><U002E><U0025><U0053><U0020>" am_pm "";"" t_fmt_ampm "" ! date_fmt "<U0025><U0061><U0020><U0025><U0064><U002E><U0025><U006d><U002E><\ U0025><U0059>/ ! <U0020><U0025><U0048><U002E><U0025><U004D><U002E><U0025><U0053><U0020>" END LC_TIME LC_MESSAGES //Jyrki

Closing. Chris
