# Note on configuration change (2020-12-09):
|
|
|
|
|
# For the past decade and a half, this package has created a symlink
|
|
|
|
|
# /etc/localtime-copied-from and a file /etc/localtime to prevent
|
|
|
|
|
# time skew until /usr is mounted. But having a separate /usr partition
|
|
|
|
|
# hasn't really made sense for a long time and leads to all kinds of
|
|
|
|
|
# bugs these days. We're going to make /etc/localtime a symlink just
|
|
|
|
|
# like everyone else does so that programs that expect it to be a link
|
|
|
|
|
# can fetch the timezone without requiring any special patches.
|

|
|
|
# If you insist on making /usr a separate partition, you might want to
|
2020-12-09 22:10:40 +01:00
|
|
|
# put the pointed-to directories and timezone file in your empty /usr
|
|
|
|
|
# directory so that it is available before the real /usr is mounted.
|
|
|
|
|
# Still not recommended though.

# In a special case, we will handle the removal of the US/Pacific-New
|
|
|
|
|
# timezone. A bit of background information on this:
|
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
|
# "US/Pacific-New' stands for 'Pacific Presidential Election Time',
|
|
|
|
|
# which was passed by the House in April 1989 but never signed into law.
|
|
|
|
|
# In presidential election years, this rule would have delayed the
|
|
|
|
|
# PDT-to-PST switchover until after the election, to lessen the effect
|
|
|
|
|
# of broadcast news election projections on last-minute west-coast
|
|
|
|
|
# voters. "
|
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
|
# In nearly all cases, a machine that uses the US/Pacific-New timezone
|
|
|
|
|
# has chosen it by mistake. In 2016, having this as the system timezone
|
|
|
|
|
# actually led to clock errors, and after that it was decided that the
|
|
|
|
|
# timezone (only of historical interest anyway) should be removed from
|
|
|
|
|
# the timezone database.
|
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
|
|
|
# If we see that the machine's localtime-copied-from symlink is pointing
|
|
|
|
|
# to US/Pacific-New, change it to point to US/Pacific instead.
