Yes... but that benefit comes from /package being at least the default, if not the only supported, installation location. If /package is not the default, then as an author of dependent packages, I'm back in the "it could be anywhere, and I can't even rely on a consistent internal structure within one prefix" boat. Bundling the parts of skalibs I need into my packages might be easier. > it makes sense to detect the timezone type at run time indeed - so I > will probably go with your suggestion.

I only meant that autodetection could be used when the option is not explicitly given. paul
