Thanks for the hint. It looks rather difficult; cf tzfile(5), zic(8).
Moreover the system seems to be aware of CEST:
# date
dilluns, 7 de maig de 2007, 21:03:53 CEST
# zdump CEST
CEST Mon May 7 19:04:03 2007 UTC
#
Looks to me rather as a problem with the way find parses dates. FWIW, my
login.conf reads:
[... my (indirect) login class:]
#
# Usuaris de La Franja. Catal=E0, UTF-8 i retocs
#
lafranja|usuaris de La Franja:\
:lang=3Dca_ES.UTF-8:\
:lc_all=3Dca_ES.UTF-8:\
:lc_collate=3Dca_ES.UTF-8:\
:lc_ctype=3Dca_ES.UTF-8:\
:lc_messages=3Dca_ES.UTF-8:\
:lc_monetary=3Dca_ES.UTF-8:\
:lc_numeric=3Dca_ES.UTF-8:\
:lc_time=3Dca_ES.UTF-8:\
:charset=3DUTF-8:\
:tc=3Ddefault:
[...]
...but only LANG is passed to the environment -- i.e. LC_TIME is not:
# echo $LANG
ca_ES.UTF-8
# echo $LC_TIME
LC_TIME: Undefined variable.
I used to use the output of uname -v (words 5 to 9) with find in a q&d
script to backup custom config files, and this is worked around by now. =
Just
wonder if it deserves a PR.
