Subject: [gentoo-dev] RFC: isodate for packages.mask starting on 2019-07-01
Date: Sat, 29 Jun 2019 13:23:10 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8d911be8-ff65-f6ae-a842-1a7d1bac4317@gentoo.org> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1782 bytes --]
Dear all,
Situation:
We have different date formats in packages.mask.
Change:
I suggest that we start using the date format yyyy-mm-dd
for all dates in packages.mask
starting with 2019-07-01
The following changes in packages.mask will introduce the date format,
specify the timezone, and use Larry as example user.

Reason:
* Larry is the Gentoo Example
* 2019-01-01 + 30 days is unclear, if we do not use UTC time
* The new date format is easy to read and write and easy to parse
internationally.
Do you have any objections?
By the way, you can get a formatted string of now in UTC with:
date -u +"%Y-%m-%d"

Best,
