When running qlop, by default the durations are printed like so: 2024-11-26T23:01:35 >>> dev-vcs/git: 25′38″ 2024-11-26T23:01:35 >>> sys-devel/llvm: 25′44″ 2024-11-26T23:27:19 >>> sys-apps/lm-sensors: 3′18″ i.e. ' = minutes and " = seconds. I guess in the author's country that's a common way to specify a duration, but I can't remember having ever seen that on my side of the globe. But additionally, some typographic version of these characters is used that can cause trouble with ASCII locale terminals. Then it looks like this: 2024-11-28T20:59:00 >>> net-nds/openldap: 1â²29â³ 2024-11-28T21:00:29 >>> app-misc/pax-utils: 13s I'm attaching a patch that renders the durations as follows: 2024-11-27T00:55:24 >>> kde-plasma/plasma-browser-integration: 2m39s 2024-11-27T00:55:24 >>> kde-plasma/powerdevil: 2m45s 2024-11-27T00:55:24 >>> kde-plasma/plasma-desktop: 2m52 IMO they're very easy to ready by anyone, perfectly concise, and more compatible on old/broken terminals. Reproducible: Always

fair enough :)
Any chance you can turn that patch into a git format patch that I can apply and record your contribution? A Signed-off-by would be nice in that case. Thanks!
Created attachment 912964 [details, diff] git-format-patch formatted Sure :) I haven't done that before, hopefully that's what you need.
