Sorry? glibc has absolutely no problems with /etc/localtime being link into /run, /var or whatever else (nor has it problems with this file being normal file and not a link) as long as content of this file is valid time zone definition. The only piece of software that has problem with it is systemd. So may be you should stop finger pointing and simply explain why *systemd* demands that /etc/localtime be specific symlink. And yes, in current world this is state and not persistent config. When I travel into another time zone I change state of my system for this timezone. Just like DNS server address. Guess what? There is DHCP option for time zone ... so how is it different from DNS server address? _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
