Re: Timezone stuff and System V Verification Suite

The problem at hand: the mod.sources version of the time zone compiler sets tzname[1] to "EWT" for the Eastern US; this causes problems with SVVS. I had a realization this morning. A while back I added a "-s" flag to the time zone compiler to let folks produce time zone information files with whose time(2) values were limited to numbers that have the same value whether you take them to be signed or unsigned. This was done to let time zone files be used in network setups where some machines on the network wanted to have signed time_t's and others wanted to have unsigned time_t's. Providentially, if you use the -s option you should get files that let localtime be SVVS compliant. Not only is this in line with kre's suggestion that the work should be done in the compiler rather than in localtime--it's already in place. I've attached diffs for zic.c and zic.8; apologies to those who've seen them before (but note that I've added a new note about SVVS to zic.8). --ado ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** 3.1/zic.c Fri Aug 7 10:42:22 1987 --- 3.6/zic.c Fri Aug 7 10:42:39 1987 *************** *** 4,10 **** #ifndef lint #ifndef NOID ! static char sccsid[] = "@(#)zic.c 3.1"; #endif /* !NOID */ #endif /* !lint */ --- 4,10 ---- #ifndef lint #ifndef NOID ! static char sccsid[] = "@(#)zic.c 3.6"; #endif /* !NOID */ #endif /* !lint */ *************** *** 355,361 **** usage() { (void) fprintf(stderr, !
