| Environment: |
| Description: |
TkDesk 1.0 is not Y2K compliant. This is NOT only on FreeBSD
and the bug is only a TkDesk one.
The bug appears in the file list window. A file with a year
date > 2000 is displayed with a year looking like "191xx" where xx is
the two last number of the real date.
The following patch (made by the TkDesk author) correct the
problem :
----
In file dsk_ls.c, function file_time() there is the following code
sequence:
else {
timestr[6] = '\0';
strcat (timestr, " 19");
strcat (timestr, itoa (filetm.tm_year));
}
Obviously, that segment should be changed to something like the
following:
else {
timestr[6] = '\0';
if (filetm.tm_year < 100) {
strcat (timestr, " 19");
strcat (timestr, itoa (filetm.tm_year));
} else {
filetm.tm_year -= 100;
sprintf (timestr, "%s 20%02d", timestr, filetm.tm_year);
}
}

Maintainer (i.e. me) has not patched this yet because a new release of TkDesk should be out in 2nd week of Sept. 1998. This release will include the Y2K fix.

Duncan, In September you said that a new release of TkDesk was coming out that would obsolete this PR. I checked the homepage for TkDesk and found a new version has been released. Would you please submit a PR updating this port, both to keep our tree current and to fix the Y2K bug as well. Thanks, - bill fumerola - billf@chc-chimes.com - BF1560 - computer horizons corp - - ph:(800) 252-2421 - bfumerol@computerhorizons.com - billf@FreeBSD.org - | |
