I had hoped that the new version would fix some
of the problems with offsets, but I still see
the following (with obvious errors):
$ date -d "20000306 12:00:00 38220 minute"
Sun Apr 2 01:00:00 PST 2000
$ date -d "20000306 12:00:00 38279 minute"
Sun Apr 2 01:59:00 PST 2000
$ date -d "20000306 12:00:00 38280 minute"
Sun Apr 2 03:00:00 PDT 2000
$ date -d "20000306 12:00:00 38339 minute"
Sun Apr 2 03:59:00 PDT 2000
So far, so good, but the next three should
return different values.
$ date -d "20000306 12:00:00 38340 minute"
Sun Apr 2 03:00:00 PDT 2000
$ date -d "20000306 12:00:00 340620 minute"
Sun Oct 29 01:00:00 PDT 2000
$ date -d "20000306 12:00:00 340679 minute"
Sun Oct 29 01:59:00 PDT 2000
$ date -d "20000306 12:00:00 340680 minute"
Sun Oct 29 02:00:00 PST 2000
$ date --version
date (GNU sh-utils) 2.0
Thanks.
