Subject: [PATCH[V2] 4/5] tzset.3: Add Environment section
Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2015 15:07:10 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <54BC126E.1080904@gmx.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <54BAFE98.2090402-KK0ffGbhmjU@public.gmane.org>
FILES section was overly verbose and included
environment variables. Added ENVIRONMENT section,
removing ENV VARS from the FILES section.
Corrected Files section items.
As stated in the previous commit
/usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime
is not used, nor recommended by glibc.
Also not used is:
/usr/share/zoneinfo/posixrules
STEPS TO REPRODUCE NO posixrules:
TZ=EST+5EDT,M1.3.0/2,M10.5.0/2 date
Sun Jan 18 14:01:24 EDT 2015
TZ=EST+5EDT,M1.4.0/2,M10.5.0/2 date
Sun Jan 18 13:01:27 EST 2015
