There's only one way to safely rebuild your system, which is the one documented in the handbook. In particular, piecewise updates are not supported. zoneinfo is hardly ever updated anyway, so you may be trying to solve a non-problem. Kris pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
SOLVED: Is this the right / best way of updating zoneinfo only
( Wrapup head posted ) Thanks Kris, I dont have a problem with the normal make world etc (do it regularly on non production stuff, but I was kinda hoping that I could do this zoneinfo build as a mini build on the production webserver to A) obviate the need to make world B) head off a mini problem that may never actually occur with the use of the zoneinfo data.. Push comes to shove - if a timezone/daylight savings setting needs altering I can carefully modify the appropriate file and re-zic things. ta mjt On Wed, 2004-03-31 at 12:03, Kris Kennaway wrote: On Wed, Mar 31, 2004 at 11:53:18AM +1000, Murray Taylor wrote: Question not responded to in a week.. -Forwarded Message- From: Murray Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Is this the right / best way of updating zoneinfo only Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2004 10:48:17 +1100 Is this the right way to update the zoneinfo data used for the time / timezone related calls.. cvsup -STABLE cd /usr/src/share/zoneinfo make make install I need to ensure that the zoneinfo is upto date on say a monthly cycle and dont really want or need to recompile everything...
