[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#834736: sbuild: Use basic format for ISO 8601 timestamps (for build logs filenames)

[Santiago Vila]

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.70.0-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear maintainer:

I see that sbuild has switched to ISO 8601 for date/time, which is a good thing.

However, the way I read this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Combined_date_and_time_representations

there are still two allowed ways to specify the dates and the times:
the "basic format" and the "extended format".

Both are standard and both are equally correct, but I wish there would
be a way to use the basic format instead of the extended format, at least
for the filenames of the build logs, if only because 20160818T113412Z
is a lot easier to parse than 2016-08-18T11:34:12Z for further
processing.

Thanks.
