Hello All
When I run a script containing
touch -d "Dec 03 2001" which-2.28.tar.gz
touch -d "Nov 13 2002" which-2.29.tar.gz
touch -d "Apr 23 2002" which-2.33.tar.gz #<------------
touch -d "Jan 13 2002" which-2.34.tar.gz #<------------
touch -d "Dec 23 2002" which-2.35.tar.gz
on a blank directory, I get
sh-2.05a# ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 13 2002 which-2.29.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 23 00:00 which-2.33.tar.gz <-----
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 13 00:00 which-2.34.tar.gz <-----
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 23 2002 which-2.35.tar.gz
i.e the year is wrong. I started thinking about this from the
gnu ftp site ftp.gnu.org where entries like
cd /gnu/autoconfig
ls
... ... .. ... ...
-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 526934 Aug 23 2001 automake-1.5.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 467744 Apr 11 09:42 automake-1.6.1.tar.bz2 <----
... ... .. ... ...
appear which just looks like inconsitent entries, but I began
to wonder about them because of other anomalies.
sh-2.05a# date --date='Apr 09 2001' +%s
1018382460
sh-2.05a# date --date='Apr 09 1984' +%s
1018383840
The 1984 date is bigger than the 2001 date. If I switch
the order to day month year I get a completely different
number.
sh-2.05a# date --date='09 Apr 1984' +%s
450316800
If I can be of any help let me know. Here is some information
Linux 2.4.18
i686
gcc-3.0.4
glibc-2.2.5
