Something is wrong with date and timezones

Hi,

There's something wrong with the date function.  It looks like the timezone codes are defined incorrectly.

The following command should be the identity function.  This is the result on an XP SP 2

date -d "1970-01-01 1212522780 sec UTC" +"%s"
1212526380

It is the identity function if the timezone is EST.   The actual timezone is EDT.  

date -d "1970-01-01 1212631585 sec EST" +"%s"
1212653185

Even if --utc is specified, the value is not preserved

date --utc -d "1970-01-01 1212631585 sec UTC" +"%s"
1212635185

Date works OK on a linux system running GNU.

getopt error in msys Version 1.0.10

Hello all,

I would like to use Mr.Kleber's script that "hold an existing MiKTeX installation up-to-date."

Unfortunately I got in msys the following error after the command sh miktex_update:

/d/Ardi_downloads
$ sh miktex_update
miktex_update: Could not find command line arguments.
Use the '--help' option for explanation.

#> /d/Ardi_downloads
$ sh miktex_update --help
miktex_update: Could not process command line arguments.
Use the '--help' option for explanation.
ERROR:
miktex_update: getopt: command not found

#> /d/Ardi_downloads
$ sh miktex_update -h
miktex_update: Could not process command line arguments.
Use the '--help' option for explanation.
ERROR:
miktex_update: getopt: command not found

Is it possible to update msys with extra packages?
Thanks and regards.

Ardi

PS: I have installed only the msys 1.0.10.exe to d:\msys dir.

======================================

http://latex.josef-kleber.de/download/miktex_update

MiKTeX update shellscript (bash/Cygwin) With this script you can hold an existing MiKTeX installation up-to-date.
Therefore the script syncronizes a local repository with CTAN or connect to a MiKTeX online repository and updates the installed packages afterwards.
After that new packages are installed. In the end you have a complete up-to-date MiKTeX installation.

latex-ehPQIvEpSJRzNCJf10r6+t10k2aWwXN4@public.gmane.org

The script o ffers the following options:
-h    --help    will print a help statement
   --version    will print the version number of miktex_update
-b    --broadband    will optimize the text output in LOCAL mode for broadband download. Support for partial package download will be switched off!
-v    --verbose    will lead to a more verbose text output in the process of updating and installing new packages
-l    --local    will set the update mode to LOCAL and syncronize the local repository (default or specified with option -r) with CTAN
-o    --online    will set the update mode to ONLINE. You have to specify an online repository with option -r. Without doing so a repository URL from the MiKTeX server network will be echoed
-r    --re pository    specifies the local or online repository for updating and installing new packages
Correct calls would be:
miktex_update -lvb
miktex_update -l -r c:/test
miktex_update -o --verbose
miktex_update -o -r http://ftp.nara.wide.ad.jp/pub/TeX/CTAN/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/

Hello,

Unless someone does it for you, you have two solution:
   - compile getopt: grab the linux-util sources from 
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/ and try to compile the 
getopt program. I did give it a quick try and got an error at link:
getopt.o:getopt.c:(.text+0x25e): undefined reference to `getopt_long_only'
You can just comment out the "_only" at the offending line. You won't be 
able to have long option only but it should be fine for your need.
If you want the binary I have made, email me. I give no guarantee about 
it working on your computer :).

   - Change the script in order to use getopts instead of getopt but 
then you won't be able to use the long options.

Re: getopt error in msys Version 1.0.10

Hello Michael,

binary would be more than enough for me.
It will only be used for the MikTeX local update purpose.
I would highly appreciate if you could let me have this binary.
I will try it at home and let you know whether it works.
Kind regards,

Ardi

Re: getopt error in msys Version 1.0.10

Hello Michael,

I have copied getopt.exe to msys/1.0/bin directory
but using sh miktex_update -h it gives error:

Note:i renamed miktex_update script to mik!!

$ sh mik -h
mik: if: command not found
mik: Could not process command line arguments.
Use the '--help' option for explanation.
ERROR:
getopt: missing optstring argument
Try `getopt --help' for more information.

$ sh mik -help
mik: if: command not found
mik: Could not process command line arguments.
Use the '--help' option for explanation.
ERROR:
getopt: missing optstring argument
Try `getopt --help' for more information.

Do I have to change sg inside the script?
It seems that it cannot take neither the long nor the short arguments properly.
Or is there some problem with the if command??
Correct me if I am wrong.

Regards,
Ardi

In MSYS 1.0.10, the msys/1.0/bin directory is reserved for MSYS
programs. Please move getopt.exe to another location in your PATH and
try again.

Re: getopt error in msys Version 1.0.10

Hello,

I have moved getopt.exe to d:\x_getopt dir, updated path but it did not help.
I have played with getopt and it gives strange -- sign if I use f.e:

The miktex_update script seems to me not able to read correctly the following:

LONGOPTS="help,broadband,verbose,version,local,online,repository:"
SHORTOPTS="hbvlor:"
ARGS=`getopt -l "$LONGOPTS" "$SHORTOPTS" "$ <at> " 2>$ERROR` if [ $? -ne 0 ] then
echo -e "`basename $0`: Could not process command line arguments.\nUse the '--help' option for explanation."
echo -e "ERR OR:\n`cat $ERROR`"
exit 1
fi

For example:
$ getopt.exe -l "ee" "rr" "yy" "ii" gives:

-- 'yy' 'ii'

It seems it cannot read $LONGOPTS" "$SHORTOPTS" "$ <at> " properly.

When I define:

#>SHORTOPTS="hbvlor:"

#>LONGOPTS="help,broadband,verbose,version,local,online,repository:"

#>getopt -ou "$LONGOPTS" "$SHORTOPTS" "$ <at> "
-- 'help,broadband,verbose,version,local,online,repository:' 'hbvlor:'

the "--" sign remains there. Is it correct?

Regards,

Ardi

If it is in a shell, it is normal. You have to export the variables or 
use them in the same line:
export SHORTOPTS="hbvlor:"
export ONGOPTS="help,broadband,verbose,version,local,online,repository:"

And short options should follow the -o parameter:
getopt -ou "$SHORTOPTS"  "$LONGOPTS" "$ <at> "
