Most distros have these files in a seperate tzdata-package, but this appears not to be the case with TSL. TSL needs to upgrade glibs to address this. Deadline is March 2007, guys ;) I would recommend shifting these files to a seperate package so they can be updated more often and easier. Updates happen occationally and this only got so much attention because the US is involved. _______________________________________________ tsl-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trustix.org/mailman/listinfo/tsl-discuss
