FW: Patches for zic.8 manpage
I'm forwarding this message from Uli, who is not on the time zone mailing list. Those of you who are on the list, please direct replies appropriately. The zic.8 file that's part of the original distribution at ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub doesn't contain ".Dl" lines. My best guess is that these are being introduced by a redistributor; someone on the list may have insights. --ado Hello, not sure if this is the right list to submit "code" changes to, but as I'm working on getting the FreeBSD manpage corpus into shape for mandoc/mdocml, there's a patch I'd like you to commit. The patch fixes some missing quotes.

They are FreeBSD related, I'll get Uli to send a PR which most likely will end up on my plate :-) Edwin (silly gmane.org complains about "You have lines longer than 80 characters. Fix that." but has no way to tell me which lines. Bloody annoying)

Yes, they are. The redistributor, in this case, is called "The FreeBSD Project". The time zone project man pages are written for the traditional UN*X -man macro package, so that they'll work on any UN*X; BSD introduced its own man page, -mdoc. If FreeBSD's zic(8) man page uses -mdoc, somebody in the FreeBSD project converted it to a -mdoc man page, and omitted the trailing quote in those .Dl lines. This means it's the responsibility of the distributor, i.e. the FreeBSD people in this case, to fix this problem, as they're the ones who have introduced it.
