Please don't top post. And (arguably) you could have asked this in a new thread - it is nothing to do with wget. Anyway - The book extracts tzdata from within the glibc-2.24/build directory. And when you have completed the glibc page you can get rid of the extracted glibc-2.24 directory. So, the fact that a few tz files are scattered in that build/ directory is not important. But if you ever want to upgrade your tzdata on a completed system (e.g. a government changes the rules for daylight saving time) then you might want to create a directory. On the other hand, perhaps you need to read the book more closely : the command references ../../tzdataX.tar.gz (where X is 2016f for 7.10, or later for svn versions of the book). That is why I say that the book runs it from within glibc-2.24/build. And yes, scattering random files over /sources (or over any other directory where you happen to be building when you get to BLFS) may cause you annoyance. But well-spotted for noticing that tzdata untars into the current directory ;-) ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
