RFC 3339 is intended for text-based communication protocols, not for user interfaces, but it is at least a specification that can be followed. The month-day-year order is silly, inserting the time of day in the middle of the date is even sillier, and using a three- or four-letter code instead of a numeric offset from UTC is just dumb, but the real problem with RPM's time format is that I can't find a document that specifies what the format is. The problem with the Fedora Packaging Guidelines is that it's unclear whether the policy mandates exactly the date format shown in the examples. Björn Persson
