It looks to me as it doesn't fix Sun's zdump or zic, but it is in patch format so you can check your showrev -p output. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 11:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Solaris 2.7 Daylight saving time fix. > The POSIX standard *requires* that the ?STx?DT format precludes the use of zone files. > Any OS which uses the zoneinfo files is not compliant when the $TZ variable can be parsed under the POSIX rules. Okay, well the NIH zdump (and, as it happens, the Sol 10 zdump.c I got to compile on Sol 2.7), "trussed" shows: open("/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/GMT", O_RDONLY) = 3 open("/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/CST6CDT", O_RDONLY) = 3 So I guess the reason it 'works' is its not properly POSIX ... so the question (to my mind) remains - where does Sol's POSIX-valid zdump get its TZ info? From a library file? That would be the one we need to update. a Andy Bach Systems Mangler Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] VOICE: (608) 261-5738 FAX 264-5932 Although few may originate a policy, we are all able to judge it.
