Whatever Gentoo is doing to build Joda-time, it is doing it wrong. If I
run the tz compiler directly (on Windows, not that it matters):
java org.joda.time.tz.ZoneInfoCompiler -src . southamerica
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArithmeticException: Adding time
zone offset caused overflow
at
org.joda.time.chrono.ZonedChronology$ZonedDurationField.getOffsetToAdd(ZonedChronology.java:348)
...
If I run it again with the system property to force UTC only:
java
-Dorg.joda.time.DateTimeZone.Provider=org.joda.time.tz.UTCProvider
org.joda.time.tz.ZoneInfoCompiler -src . southamerica
...it doesn't throw any exception.
The reason why the system property was required in the first place was
as a bootstrap. The tz compiler uses Joda-time classes, which in turn
expect a tz provider to exist. At some point a bug was introduced which
required this property even if not doing a bootstrap compile. Fixing it
was low priority because most users just use the prebuilt Joda-time. I
just check in the fix such that the system property is no longer required.
