The changelog format can be changed but don't try it because you have to change other things that parse it too. Standard is better than better.

I guess this works then: date "+%a %b %d %Y %T" But of course then anything that parses the changelog will think the packager name is "09:33:16 Joe Packager". :-( Bob
