Well, sure, but the timezone-data ebuild could be upgraded to check to see if /etc/localtime is "old" or not and inform the user or even take appropriate steps to automatically fix this (dangerous?)
This may not be possible with a direct copy to /etc/localtime, but it should work with the /etc/timezone/MST7MDT idea since the corresponding file can be located and compared. -Daniel On 2/16/07, Ciaran McCreesh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

No good when timezone-data is updated. -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail : ciaranm at ciaranm.org Web : http://ciaranm.org/ Paludis, the secure package manager : http://paludis.pioto.org/
