Hello,
I have downloaded and built "sh-utils" which fails doing 'make
check' on the date tests. I repeated the date test from ./tests/date having
set the environment variable VERBOSE to 1. The output was:-
(hilda)# date-tests
testing program: ../../src/date
date (GNU sh-utils) 2.0

Failed 3 tests.

It fails on the tests with the TZ variable set to UTC+ something. I have
tried doing a few manual test an the results are:-
(hilda)# echo $TZ
GMT0
(hilda)# date
Mon Jan 31 10:39:13 GMT 2000
(hilda)# TZ=UTC date
Mon Jan 31 10:39:22 UTC 2000
(hilda)# TZ=UTC4 date
Mon Jan 31 06:39:36 UTC 2000
(hilda)# TZ=UTC+4 date
Mon Jan 31 10:39:49 UTC 2000
(hilda)# TZ=UTC-4 date
Mon Jan 31 14:40:00 UTC 2000
(hilda)#
The results confuse me:-
1) I thought setting TZ=UTC would cause the time to change.
2) I was expecting TZ=UTC4 and TZ=UTC+4 to add four hours, 4 took 4 hours
off, and +4 was ignored.
3) I was expecting TZ=UTC-4 to take 4 hours off, not add 4 hours on.
Will explain to me what is going on?
My configure options where '-disable-nls'. Configure picked up the host as
m68k-motorola-sysv which is correct. This is an old flavour of System V R3
operating system.
Please find attached 'configure.log' and 'make.log' which are log files of
the configure and make commands,
