This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release. * by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we could ship this. * this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before we could ship with this patch. * we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should probably question if it makes sense at all.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <filename>/etc/localtime</filename> file configures the
|
|
system-wide timezone of the local system that is used by
|
|
applications for presentation to the user. It should be an
|
|
absolute or relative symbolic link pointing to
|
|
<filename>/usr/share/zoneinfo/</filename>, followed by a timezone
|
|
identifier such as <literal>Europe/Berlin</literal> or
|
|
<literal>Etc/UTC</literal>. The resulting link should lead to the
|
|
corresponding binary
|
|
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>tzfile</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
timezone data for the configured timezone.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Because the timezone identifier is extracted from the
|
|
symlink target name of <filename>/etc/localtime</filename>, this
|
|
file may not be a normal file or hardlink.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The timezone may be overridden for individual programs by
|
|
using the <varname>$TZ</varname> environment variable. See
|
|
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>environ</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You may use
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>timedatectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
to change the settings of this file from the command line during
|
|
runtime. Use
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-firstboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
to initialize the time zone on mounted (but not booted) system
|
|
images.</para>
