Oh, was that what was supposed to be? That's not until 2038 (for 32 bit signed int and epoch = 1970-01-01 00:00:00). I really doubt that it will be that big of a deal. Most databases use actual date fields, not time_t (since time_t already doesn't cover many interesting dates). Not all OSes use the same epoch either, so this is mostly a Unix problem, and most current Unix systems already handle a larger time_t (if somebody is still trying to make SunOS 4 or SCO run in 2038, time_t will be the least of their problems). -- Chris Adams <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx> -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
