--- Comment #17 from Frederic Crozat 2012-08-14 09:44:04 UTC ---
I suggest to forget about /etc/timezone: it will go away sooner or later, so it
isn't worth implementing support in YaST for it.
Currently /etc/sysconfig/clock is not read at all by systemd (since we aren't
on Fedora). I could adapt systemd so it could parse /etc/sysconfig/clock in
"SUSE" format, as a fallback.
The proposed upstream patch to support /etc/localtime is expecting
/etc/localtime to be a symlink to a zoneinfo file in /usr/share/zoneinfo, which
isn't the case (probably because it wouldn't work with /usr on a separate
partition, when mounting /usr was not done in initrd). And the code proposed
relies on the symlink information to guess the timezone name. So, it might be
better to switch to symlink when it is modified by YaST (and if I add support
for /etc/sysconfig/clock in SUSE format, timedated will be able to guess the
timezone name when /etc/localtime is a file and will replace it with a symlink
when timezone is modified).
Unless there is a way to get the timezone date from the /etc/localtime content
itself. Werner, any idea ?
