I think that you want %Y-%m-%d to be ISO compliant. d_fmt "" I used the three letter short form month (%b) in the example. Had one been available then I would have simply used a straight ISO8601 localedef. But as I had to hand code it anyway I prefer to read the month directly on my desktop displays and not have to map numbers to the names of the month in my head. The servers got the the strict version. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
