Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH] support/download/svn: fix date format for archive creation
Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2021 23:06:01 +0100	[thread overview]

Vincent, All,

On 2021-02-19 15:21 -0600, Vincent Fazio spake thusly:
> Previously we would use the date provided by:
> `svn info --show-item last-changed-date ...`
> 
> The date returned from this command could include sub-second precision
> which is not compatible with the PAX options we specify to GNU tar.
> 
> Now the returned date is massaged to drop the sub-seconds.

In the end, I did move it to the helper, because:

  - this really is an internal detail on a limitation of the PAX format,

  - we do not really mind what exact timestamp goes in the archive, as
    long as it is reproducible.

Also, as suggested by Arnout, I switched to usig an explicit date-time
POSIX-compliant format string, rather than rely on -Iseconds, which is
a GNU extension.

Applied to master, thanks.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
