Issue #13050 has been updated by Garrett Wollman.
For systems using the Olson (now IANA) timezone database, the name "tzid" is commonly used. However, Windows systems use a completely different set of names. (ICU has a table that maps tzids to Windows zones, but the relation is not invertible.) I suggested "tzname" as being generic enough to encompass tzids, Windows zone names, and POSIX TZ strings. ---------------------------------------- Feature #13050: facter should have a fact for the long timezone name https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13050#change-56733 Author: Garrett Wollman Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Keywords: Branch: Affected Facter version: 1.6.6 FreeBSD 9.0 (and possibly 8.3, I haven't checked) and later cache the name of the configured timezone in /var/db/zoneinfo. This is more meaningful than the contents of struct tm's tm_zone, and would be useful as a condition to determine whether to sync a new /etc/localtime out when the government screws with your timezone. I'm not sure what the best way to add this is, so no patch supplied. (The /var/db/zoneinfo file is a single line of text with the name of the zone, suitable for use in tzsetup(8) or $TZ.) -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
