From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: elseifthen@gmx.com Message-ID: <54AE031C.30907@gmx.com> Date: Wed, 07 Jan 2015 23:10:04 -0500 From: JWP MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Karel Zak CC: util-linux@vger.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 0/4] hwclock: x86_64 -- UTC Defaults -- v2.26 man updates Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 List-ID: I think I heard Mr. Zak say RC1 is coming, so I wanted to add some more documentation details for the hwclock v2.26 changes. While testing to make sure what I wrote was correct, I found 2 new minor bugs. I want to slip the patches in for them this release so the manual will make sense. Then I decided to do some man page errata and drop some outdated language... and then I authored a new configuration section... well it ended up being a more sizable patch then I intended. I apologize for that, but it's not code so I hope it will be okay. A rewrite of the man page is on my todo list after hwclock refactoring is finished; this patch puts a good scratch in some of what I intended todo. If the POSIX vs 'RIGHT' section sounds vaguely familiar, you're probably recalling this commit: d53f8ecfbf036eddb2aef737dc0973a613d80ced Which should never have been accepted. >>From his email, Mr. Parmelee appears to be seriously confused. http://marc.info/?l=util-linux-ng&m=136543342327830&w=2 But I'll bring this discussion up in a hwclock refactoring RFC later on. I made the final man page patch separate so it can be rejected easily. We've already visited that subject a few times now and perhaps Karel doesn't want to mess with it anymore. I wish everyone here a Happy New Year!
