If fossil is running as root, then it chroots to the directory containing your repository without any additional configuration. Try the following: cd <repository-location> mkdir -p etc usr/share/zoneinfo mount -rt nullfs /usr/share/zoneinfo usr/share/zoneinfo ln -s ../usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York etc/localtime Now check the time in fossil's web interface. It should see a difference between local time and UTC. If it does, you can add the zoneinfo mount to /etc/fstab: /usr/share/zoneinfo /path/to/usr/share/zoneinfo nullfs ro 0 0 - Max _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
