other than the comment in /etc/conf.d/clock, nope ... the init script will
warn you at boot if you still havent set it
I think the easiest approach then would be to have an /etc/timezone
directory that should have a single file in it with the current
timezone. This file could be copied from /usr and keep the original
name. example:
/etc/timezone/MST7MDT
Pretty easy to understand and deal with. What do you
Um, alternatively you could just copy /usr/share/zoneinfo/foo to
/etc/localtime rather than having a symlink. Since the zoneinfo file
has the name of the timezone in it already, it is probably not
necessary to preserve the filename of the timezone file.

Well, sure, but the timezone-data ebuild could be upgraded to check to
see if /etc/localtime is old or not and inform the user or even take
appropriate steps to automatically fix this (dangerous?)
This may not be possible with a direct copy to /etc/localtime, but it
should work with the

I see a timezone variable was added. good idea! how is it implemented
exactly? seeing as I have a symlink in /etc/localtime what will this
change if I set it?

AFAIK it currently does nothing and will be used in the future.

It might have something to do with the fact that FHS specifies that /usr
does not have to be on the root partition and thus using a symlink in
never thought of that. thx for the info.
