The problem is this fragment: my $date_line = sprintf "%s %s$tiny\n", strftime ("%F", localtime ($1)), $2; If I replace "%F" with the equivalent "%Y-%m-%d", the script runs to completion and produces a ChangeLog file. Should I fix this in the Emacs repository, or is the script maintained elsewhere? Also, I see 2 additional minor issues with the script: . It doesn't add the 'coding:' cookie at the end of the produced file. . It unconditionally overwrites any local file named "ChangeLog", which now most/all contributors will have. I wonder whether this is necessary/desirable. Thanks.
