It used to be possible with the coreutils to convert a time_t value, as produced by date +%s, back into a time which can be used by date and touch:
> date -u -d "70-1-1 00:00:`date +%s`" date: invalid date `70-1-1 00:00:1146711463' > date --version date (GNU coreutils) 5.3.0 > date-5.2.1 -u -d "70-1-1 00:00:`date +%s`" Thu May 4 02:58:47 UTC 2006 > date-5.2.1 --version date (coreutils) 5.2.1 This makes coreutils 5.3.0 unable to do time stamp modifications with, or at least I can't see a way to do it. Can this situation please be remedied?
