Re: [Freemint-discuss] Fwd: Re: Timezone and timestamp

[Paul W. <pau...@gm...>]

This not the first, or even the third time Peter has had issues with
TZ/timezone and remote fs dates.

One major difference between setups is he is using a Milan. Does anyone
else with a Milan use MiNT (is it 040 or 060)?

Second, I know that his original configs cam from a different setup, is
there an issue there, something being missed (like was edited under TOS and
under MiNT "tzload" is having issues with it).

Third, where is his tzinit coming from, 1.15, 1.16, 1.17, 1.18,
1.19-current. I know there have been issues with certain combinations on
certain architecture in the past (like a long time ago as well).

every now and again I have issues with "plain text" files not being
processed properly. Usually config or Makefile's, and it is always either
the file was also edited on non-linux, I pasted a unseeable (control?)
character. whatever it is, I usually have to remove the EOL + 1 character
either side of it, and it usually fixes the issue. Just an idea ..

on that note, if this continues, wont it be easier to copy/share a 020-060
tzinit and timezone files from a known working source.

Cheers

Paul
