Inside operations/puppet.git, there's a shell script at files/misc/l10nupdate/l10nupdate-1 that runs LocalisationUpdate's ([[mw:Extension:LocalisationUpdate]]) update.php script and then logs to the server admin log ([[wikitech:SAL]]). This shell script uses the output of `date` (presumably /bin/date), but date's default output is kind of stupid. Example: $ date Sun Aug 18 08:24:16 UTC 2013 The year comes after both the time and the time zone. This really doesn't make any sense. It'd be nice if date were passed an explicit format that was less stupid.
Any recommendation?
date --rfc-3339=seconds might be the easiest
(In reply to comment #2) > date --rfc-3339=seconds might be the easiest Not sure if this was intended as a joke, but my version of BSD `date` doesn't have this flag. I looked up RFC 3339. I assume you mean [[ISO 8601]]. I think that format would be fine to resolve this bug. (In reply to comment #1) > Any recommendation? ISO 8601 format as Nemo suggests in comment 2 would be fine. Or the equivalent of "~~~~~" expanded; MediaWiki's format is easy enough to read. :-)

No, it's not a joke; date (GNU coreutils) 8.17. $ date --rfc-3339=seconds 2013-08-27 11:20:33+02:00 > > (In reply to comment #1) > > Any recommendation? > > ISO 8601 format as Nemo suggests in comment 2 would be fine. It's just a bit uglier. :) $ date --iso-8601=seconds 2013-08-27T11:23:31+0200

(In reply to comment #2) > date --rfc-3339=seconds might be the easiest Oh, I forgot that was my suggestion. Anyway, merged; given the number of +1 I declare this fixed by popular vote.
