 |
|
I want to submit a patch for elogv that will add the option of specifying a different date format (currently it seems hard-coded to be "MM/DD/YY", and as a sane person I'd like it to be "YYYY-MM-DD" instead).
However, the elogv repo on GitHub ( https://github.com/gentoo/elogv ) seems to be just a mirror.
So, how do I submit a proposed patch to elogv?

In doubt submit the patch to bugs.gentoo.org. |

It is actually using Python's %x modifier for locale specific date formatting with strftime. https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-format-codes
This would have to be changed to isoformat (or another formatting string) to get the desired result.
Alternatively, there's a cheap workaround for ISO 8601 if you add en_DK.UTF-8 to /etc/locale.gen then run locale-gen:
| Code: | | LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 elogv |
This trick only works with %x strftime calls as other month names may not be what is expected. |

Don't mistake preference for sanity, because if it were, then for me you would be insane for not wanting it to be "DD/MM/YY".
