            Bug ID: 24054
           Summary: May locales are missing date_fmt
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.29
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: aurelien at aurel32 dot net
                CC: libc-locales at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

date_fmt is used by the date(1) utility. Many locales do not define it, in
which case it defaults to "%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y". This is bad for many of
them because this assumes the date order is MDY which is not the most popular
order around the world.

commit 75ba929987f6950dd008ef0f6270f1b21e9af511
Author: Rafał Lużyński <digitalfreak@lingonborough.com>

    Multiple locales: Add date_fmt (bug 24054)

    It is not specified what should be the content of d_t_fmt and date_fmt
    but in the built-in C locale those fields have only one difference:
    date_fmt contains "%Z" (the current time zone) while d_t_fmt does not.

    For most of the locales this commit does the following operation:
    copy d_t_fmt to date_fmt, and then remove "%Z" from d_t_fmt.
    If "%Z" was originally missing from d_t_fmt add it to date_fmt.
    It also corrects comments where necessary.

    Exceptions:

    * In bo_CN, dz_BT, and km_KH "%Z" has not been added to date_fmt because
      it was too difficult.  In these locales date_fmt has been set to the
      copy of d_t_fmt.
    * In en_DK "%Z" has not been removed from d_t_fmt in order to preserve
      the conformance with the standard mentioned in the comment.

    The command to identify and initially edit the locales that need the
    update was:

        for i in `grep -lw d_t_fmt *`
        do
            if ! grep -qw date_fmt $i ; then
                awk '/d_t_fmt/ { print $0; gsub("d_t_fmt", "date_fmt"); } //{
print $0 }' < $i > $i.next
                mv $i.next $i
            fi
        done

    and then each file was further edited manually.
