I think the first "of" and the "effect" should be removed, but I'm not sure if that's correct.This was introduced by https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/commit/man8/zic.8?id=5355e20f816e1e0af93d6bb80439e86f2d1c7be7 so maybe it should be reported to tzdb upstream instead.It's already fixed upstream. The version in the tzdb-2022f package says: RULES The name of the rules that apply in the timezone or, alternatively, a field in the same format as a rule-line SAVE column, giving the amount of time to be added to local standard time and whether the resulting time is standard or daylight saving. If this field is - then standard time always applies. When an amount of time is given, only the sum of standard time and this amount matters. So here's a patch for the man page. There are lots of other changes in the upstream page though, so another sync might be useful.
As you said, a sync would be better. However, I don't know how Michael did that. If you know where the page comes from, could you please prepare a patch that does the sync, and document it in the commit message so that it's easier to do it in the future?
If you do that, please also sync tzfile(5) and zdump(8) in the commit. Thanks, Alex --- $ cat MAINTAINER_NOTES Externally generated pages ========================== A few pages come from external sources. Fixes to the pages should really go to the upstream source. tzfile(5), zdump(8), and zic(8) come from the tz project (https://www.iana.org/time-zones). bpf-helpers(7) is autogenerated from the kernel sources using scripts. See man-pages commits 53666f6c3 and 19c7f7839 for details. -- <http://www.alejandro-colomar.es/>
