Subject: [Bug localedata/25923] New: Regression: en_US date_fmt and d_t_fmt and "%a %d %b" vs. "%a %b %e"
Date: Tue, 05 May 2020 13:57:07 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-25923-716@http.sourceware.org/bugzilla/> (raw)
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25923
Bug ID: 25923
Summary: Regression: en_US date_fmt and d_t_fmt and "%a %d %b"
vs. "%a %b %e"
Product: glibc
Version: 2.29
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: localedata
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: carlos at redhat dot com
CC: libc-locales at sourceware dot org
Target Milestone: ---
In commit 7395f3a0efad9fc51bb54fa383ef6524702e0c49, which is discussed here:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2018-December/100227.html
The date_fmt was defined for en_US to correct the 24h clock issue.
What was not discussed at the time, perhaps overlooked, is that the display
order of the month and day was changed.
For 20 years date_fmt has printed:
date +"%a %b %e"
Tue May 5
For 23 years d_t_fmt has printed:
date +"%a %d %b"
Tue 05 May
When commit 7395f3a0efad9fc51bb54fa383ef6524702e0c49 fixed the 24h change it
also changed the month and day ordering.
This is a change in behaviour that should be discussed. We should at a minimum
revert the monty and day ordering change until we can agree what should be done
for date_fmt or d_t_fmt.
My opinion is that we should minimize the amount of change being done, and
simply keep d_t_fmt and date_fmt different, but retain the fixed 12h clock as
intended by the original fix for bug 24046.
