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.Paul Eggert did it last time.
Thanks!
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?Upstream is https://www.iana.org/time-zones
Ahh, I remember last time I wanted to check the source code I desisted because there's no git repository, and I didn't want to be messing with tarballs. But getting the pages from the tarball seems easy, so I'll do that.
Paul, do you have a public git (or whatever) repository that I can check out? Thanks, Alex
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/>
