What about the timezone?
Baselayout had a setting for the timezone in /etc/conf.d/clock.
baselayout-2.0.0
+ openrc doesn't seem to have that. Not needed?
Not needed indeed. The previous setting caused confusion because
changing it didn't actually change the timezone (this isn't the place for
the technical details).
Now, the clock config file simply sets local or UTC, while the timezone
is set using the standard glibc /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/
<whatever-zone> symlink or the TZ environmental variable (see the tzset
and hwclock manpages among others).
Then there should be a note, that this setting is deprecated. Currently it
only says:
'If you want to manage /etc/localtime yourself, set this to "".'
If there is a note, that this setting isn't used anymore it won't make
users,
that still have it set wonder why an etc update wants to remove it.
