Dear GNU maintainer/team/email-dude, in thre process of writing an Atom-feed-generator in bash, I discovered what MIGHT be a bug/documentation misinterpretation in GNU date's --iso-8601 switch when invoked with "ns" or "seconds" as a parameter.
RFC3339 and some documents regarding ISO 8601 I could find on the web quickly seem to suggest that the time-offset component of the output should match the regex /\d\d:\d\d/; date, however, matches /\d\d\d\d/. As said, I don't know if the actual ISO 8601 standard specifies that as fair game, as I don't know where I could take a look at it - but it might not harm investigating if you aren't completely sure about the correct behaviour either... Anyway, thanks for taking the time and making coreutils available to us mere mortals in the first place - happy hacking! :-) -- with best regards: - Johannes Truschnigg ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) www: http://johannes.truschnigg.info/ phone: +43 650 2 133337 jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please do not bother me with HTML-eMail or attachments.
