[PATCH 0/4] hwclock: x86_64 -- UTC Defaults -- v2.26 man updates

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I think I heard Mr. Zak say RC1 is coming, so I
wanted to add some more documentation details for
the hwclock v2.26 changes.

While testing to make sure what I wrote was
correct, I found 2 new minor bugs.  I want to slip
the patches in for them this release so the manual
will make sense.

Then I decided to do some man page errata and drop
some outdated language... and then I authored a
new configuration section... well it ended up
being a more sizable patch then I intended. I 
apologize for that, but it's not code so I hope it
will be okay. A rewrite of the man page is on my 
todo list after hwclock refactoring is finished; 
this patch puts a good scratch in some of what I 
intended todo.

If the POSIX vs 'RIGHT' section sounds vaguely
familiar, you're probably recalling this commit:
d53f8ecfbf036eddb2aef737dc0973a613d80ced
Which should never have been accepted.

But I'll bring this discussion up in a hwclock
refactoring RFC later on.

I made the final man page patch separate so it can
be rejected easily. We've already visited that
subject a few times now and perhaps Karel doesn't
want to mess with it anymore.

I wish everyone here a Happy New Year!
