is localtime file binary compatible with older releases?
Is the compiled time zone info file binary compatible across FreeBSD versions? I have a couple of 4.x and one 5.x box still on my network, and I was wondering if it was possible to just copy the /etc/ localtime from a new 6.1 box on to all of them rather than having to install the updated zone file port. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In article [EMAIL PROTECTED] you write: Is the compiled time zone info file binary compatible across FreeBSD versions? It is backwards-compatible across all versions of the Olson timezone library going back to before there was a FreeBSD, on all platforms, regardless of architecture (modulo bugs in libc). -GAWollman ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
