The config at Savannah uses no $sys_datefmt (commented out).

However, I believe it would be good to let the user choose his preferred date format.

Summary:  Savane uses American date format (mm/dd/yyyy)

Original Submission:  Hi,

Tony Mountifield submitted a bug at the Savannah administration project regarding the 
use of the American mm/dd/yyyy date format use in Savane 
(<https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/?func=detailitem&item_id=103025>).

Would if perhaps be better to use the more universal yyyy/mm/dd format instead?

I think it's a misconfiguration issue at savannah.gnu.org. I don't know if it is due 
to the chrooting method or anything else but it just appears that locales are not 
supported by the installation of apache there.



Savane supports i18n and i10n and with a clean install, users get the date in the 
appropriate format for their language setting.



BTW, yyyy/mm/dd is not universal at all either: in French, the standard is dd/mm/yyyy 
(or even dd-mm-yyyy). :)



So the only way to get something satisfactory is to use locales, which is not 
something complicated on a GNU/Linux system nowadays.
