Hi Paul, I had in mind something: I would like to cherry-pick all tzdb's commits that affect manual pages into the Linux man-pages git repository, instead of just pasting here snapshots of your manual pages. For that to work, we'd need to agree on a path inside the repository (or I could manually --or with a script-- edit each commit, which would be combersome, and I'd rather avoid). What do you think of moving the pages in the tzdb repository into man/man*/ directories? I see your repository is perfectly flat, so I don't know if there are strong reasons for that, or if it's just innertia. To be explicit, this is what I'd do in tzdb.git: diff --git a/date.1 b/man/man1/date.1 similarity index 100% rename from date.1 rename to man/man1/date.1 diff --git a/newctime.3 b/man/man3/newctime.3 similarity index 100% rename from newctime.3 rename to man/man3/newctime.3 diff --git a/newstrftime.3 b/man/man3/newstrftime.3 similarity index 100% rename from newstrftime.3 rename to man/man3/newstrftime.3 diff --git a/newtzset.3 b/man/man3/newtzset.3 similarity index 100% rename from newtzset.3 rename to man/man3/newtzset.3 diff --git a/time2posix.3 b/man/man3/time2posix.3 similarity index 100% rename from time2posix.3 rename to man/man3/time2posix.3 diff --git a/tzfile.5 b/man/man5/tzfile.5 similarity index 100% rename from tzfile.5 rename to man/man5/tzfile.5 diff --git a/tzselect.8 b/man/man8/tzselect.8 similarity index 100% rename from tzselect.8 rename to man/man8/tzselect.8 diff --git a/zdump.8 b/man/man8/zdump.8 similarity index 100% rename from zdump.8 rename to man/man8/zdump.8 diff --git a/zic.8 b/man/man8/zic.8 similarity index 100% rename from zic.8 rename to man/man8/zic.8 If we do that, then my idea would be to do $ git remote add tzdb git@xxxxxxxxxx:eggert/tz.git in my Linux man-pages local repo, and cherry-pick commits '-- man/' from time to time. Does that sound good to you? Have a lovely day! Alex -- <https://www.alejandro-colomar.es/> A client is hiring kernel driver, mm, and/or crypto developers; contact me if interested.
