Hmm. Are you sure about that? My understanding was that we deprecated -I for being non-compliant with ISO 8601 because RFC 3339 explicitly requires that the 'T' NOT appear in the date. Reread section 5.6 in RFC 3339, which permits implementations to avoid 'T'. See the threads here, where the --rfc-3339 option was discussed, and later added: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-07/msg00186.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2005-09/msg00056.html If you need the "T", for now you can rely on the undocumented --iso-8601 option. > > I am not providing you a patch, since I don't want to go through > the administrative burden of copyright transfer for so little, > but here are the correct date formats for the RFC 3339 options: If the patch is less than 10 lines, it is considered trivial and can be applied without copyright assignment. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
