Weekdays missing from xclock‘s digital display
I noticed the weekdays was missing from xclock‘s digital display when run in FreeBSD base/head aka 11.0-ALPHA6. FreeBSD stable/10 doesn’t have this problem.
It’s all down to the definition of the format specifier %c used by strftime(3) in base/head and in stable/10.
In base/head, %c, is defined for the locales nb_NO.ISO8859-15 and nb_NO.UTF-8 without the weekdays:
# c_fmt %e. %B %Y kl. %H.%M.%S
As a contrast, stable/10 keeps the weekdays for both nb_NO.ISO8859-1 and nb_NO.UTF-8:
# c_fmt # %a %e %b %X %Y
Order was restored to my own taste by adding
-strftime "%A %d. %B %Y %H:%M:%S" when launching xclock.
IOW, this is how I launch xclock from my .xinitrc and .xsession files (yes, they are hard linked):
xclock -geometry 270x33-0+0 -update 1 -digital -strftime "%A %d. %B %Y %H:%M:%S" &
