Re: [darcs-users] Is `darcs log` date format configurable?
Sorry for the (extremely) belated reply. It is currently not possible to do this because we use some ancient self-written code to format the timestamp that doesn't take system settings such as your current locale into consideration. It would be easy to change that -- in fact this is a perfect beginner-level exercise in getting acquainted with the Darcs code base. The relevant module is Darcs.Util.IsoDate. Any volunteers? I am willing to baby-sit beginners until they can navigate the code base (and the contribution procedure) by themselves. Cheers Ben On 5/2/22 23:04, Karl O.

[darcs-users] Is `darcs log` date format configurable?
Hello. I'm a Fossil user, but I'm considering Darcs for certain projects. I have installed Darcs 2.16.5 using cabal-install, on Debian 10.12, and I'm trying it with test repositories. My first doubt is a simple one: is it possible to configure the date format used by `darcs log`? I prefer the ISO 8601 standard format. I have searched the manpage, the corresponding help commands, the Darcs Book, Understanding Darcs, the wiki… but found nothing. Thanks. -- Marcos Cruz http://programandala.net ___ darcs-users mailing list darcs-users@osuosl.org https://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
