I've started a new thread, but can't see it in the mailing list archives. Please see the patch attached.
Thanks!Could you please send the patch inline (if you use git-format-patch(1), that would be --no-attach (or --inline, but I prefer --no-attach)), so I can quote reply on it?
If you fear that your mailer will do harmful stuff, please send it both attached and inline.
Cheers, Alex

I'd definitely appreciate if Paul checks it too :) On Wed, 15 Feb 2023 at 17:21, Alejandro Colomar <alx.manpages@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi Elliott, Almaz, On 2/13/23 17:31, enh wrote:(given how complex a topic this is -- based on the discussion on the tz mailing list -- you might want to send a specific suggestion in the form of a patch...)Thanks, I agree. This is too complex, and it would be nice to see a more specific suggestion in the form of a patch. I CCed Paul, in case he can help.

It tells that tm_isdst is enough to find out time zone's offset. But that's not true, for example Europe/Lisbon has changed [0] its standard offset from 00:00 to 01:00 and back to 00:00, so an exact date is needed to answer that. To get correct answer with the current glibc tm struct should either come from localtime or there should be a mktime call prior to strftime. You can find a repro example and discussion here [1]. Paul Eggert has proposed a fix to C standard [2]. Should man pages reflect that i.e. mention that there should be localtime/mktime calls for %z and %Z? Thanks, Almaz P.S. I am resending the email. My previous attempt was bounced back as it wasn't TEXT/PLAIN.
