[PLUG] Date format Raspberry Pi

[Chuck Hast]

This is raspbian, and it has the locale.gen file in there, it has selected
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

But I need finer granularity than that. But there is no locale.conf file
which is where you do fine changes to the locale.

It appears that they have changed things, if I do a locale command
I can of course see all of the settings:
pi at tempest01:/etc $ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"    <<<<<<< This is the one I need to change
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

But I have looked for where to change that and since there
is no locale.conf file not sure.

Going out of town so will not be working on this for a few
days.
