Subject: [PATCH V4 1/1] tzset.3: Add Environment section
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2015 11:27:07 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <54CA5F5B.7070405@gmx.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <54C9CA11.207-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

FILES section was overly verbose and included
environment variables.  Added ENVIRONMENT section,
removing ENV VARS from the FILES section.

As stated in commit 2c7f200
/usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime
is not used, nor recommended by glibc.
