Two questions, timezone and manpages

Hey everyone, two quick questions here.

  1. I’m running FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE. When I actually run the makes on RT,
    everything goes fine, except for some reason, pod2man craps out on the
    manpage creation. It’s always done this, except I had never really been
    concerned about it. :slight_smile: Always says there’s nothing in there. Any ideas?

  2. No matter how hard I try, I can’t get the timezone to display properly.
    I’ve tried every timezone format in config.pm that I could possibly think
    of, but WebRT always shows comments and such in GMT. When emails come back,
    they come back with the proper time. Yes, the box has the proper time set,
    and the proper timezone (PDT). Again, FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE. Anyone have any
    insight? :slight_smile:

Thanks in advance.

I just made an installation on a RH6.2-box, and saw the same
pod2man-errors. Didn’t care to check it though. Version 2.0.6.

I haven’t looked yet, but it seems like my timezone MET worked for me on
RH6.2.

FWIW, I’ve been aware of the problem, and had fixed a few in the past for Jesse.
The problem is caused by the lack of some of the expected pod headers.

I never did get around to fixing the rest of them, but if you want to fix some, have a look at the pod2man manpage, it gives diagnostics for most of the error messages.
IIRC mostly it’s a case of copying some headers from the bottom of the file, and moving them to the top.

There are some minor formatting issues in the pod that some versions
of pod2man complain about. but it’s not a big deal. I’d love patches
if you’re up to it :wink:

iirc there’s something in the archives for rt-users or rt-devel about
how to set apache’s timezone in the configfile…

Thanks in advance.
