[Touch-packages] [Bug 1657473] Re: date format incorrect for a number of Timezones

2017-11-09 Thread Adam Conrad
Date formats are a function of your locale, not your timezone.  When
using a GB locale, the output is, indeed, what you expect it to be:

(base)adconrad@nosferatu:~$ LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 TZ=Europe/London date
jeudi 9 novembre 2017, 23:08:00 (UTC+)
(base)adconrad@nosferatu:~$ LANG=en_US.UTF-8 TZ=Europe/London date
Thu Nov  9 23:08:03 GMT 2017
(base)adconrad@nosferatu:~$ LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 TZ=Europe/London date
Thu  9 Nov 23:08:06 GMT 2017

Title:
  date format incorrect for a number of Timezones

Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Body:

  For a number of locales, for example, TZ=Europe/London, the default
  format of the date command is wrong. At least one other timezone is
  affected: TZ=Africa/Johannesburg has the same bug.

  
   $(TZ=Europe/London;date)
   Wed Jan 18 13:59:33 GMT 2017

  This format is wrong. It should be:

   $(TZ=Europe/London;date)
   Wed 18 Jan 13:59:33 GMT 2017

  In other words, the date format should be:

   date +%a\ %d\ %b\ %H:%M:%S\ %Z\ %Y

  Not, as it currently is:

  date +%a\ %b\ %d\ %H:%M:%S\ %Z\ %Y
