Bug#959874: locales: default date format for en_DK and other en_* should be improved
Package: locales
Version: 2.30-5
Severity: wishlist
I'm using LC_TIME=en_DK for the ISO 8601 date format, i.e. when
written with digits. But the default date format seems to be the
same one as LC_TIME=C and should be improved. This has currently
been done only for US:
$ for i in $(locale -a | grep en_); do printf "%-20s" $i; LC_TIME=$i date; done
