--- Comment #3 from Don Beusee <[email protected]> --- I've read some of the history on this issue, and I don't agree with maintaining your own branch of the package. Your fix ignores the ill configured system (/etc/localtime out of sync with /usr/share/zoneinfo), which means the system will give incorrect time due to rule changes which /etc/localtime doesn't know about because it's out of date. I'd rather SOME program tells me something is wrong so I can fix it. On top of localtime being wrong, tzfile's guess can also be wrong and then you have 2 wrongs. It's better to raise an error so the sysadmin can fix the system and everything is set right again. And you don't have to maintain a branch of code trying to ignore a DST patch not properly applied. I am betting you could talk the package owner into producing a better error message indicating something being wrong with /etc/localtime. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl perl-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/[email protected]
