Yes, But help me understand. I think you said that you are not convinced as to why that has to done.
My argument is very simple shouldn't a Linux environment allow change in timezone easily? Now I am not an expert in Linux kernel development. But I see that some of the files, even though they reside in /etc are linked to file in /run Like *resolv.conf. *Which allows dynamic changes. timezone activity change is a very basic change one that needs to be supported by the system. Why guard it with so much. Again I am asking if there is something else that you would want instead of the method suggested in the ticket. I guess, your main concern is that this might open the flood gates where now everyone is changing /etc files according to their own whim and now read-only fs is not really a read-only fs But then again I would argue that timezone changes has little effect and it should be customizable according to the user. I am happy to spend my time doing that and submitting it again for review. Like I said I just want to know the root issue with that approach . Because there are plenty other people who might be facing the same issue. I am happy to invest my time in doing this Regards, Shravan Singh (239) 243-0838 Blue Sparq, Inc. 928 NE 24th Lane unit 4 and 5.
