Thank you for this release!
A problem though: I get a failure while setting timezone on a ro root
with /etc/localtime symlinked to /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago, which
seems to be caused by this:
$ grep zoneinfo /etc/rc.d/functions -m1
local tz=$1 zonefile=/usr/share/zoneinfo/$tz
so $zonefile is only /usr/share/zoneinfo instead
of /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago. Later set_timezone() attempts to
force-symlink /etc/localtime and fails of course. The fix is to replace the
above stanza with:
local tz=$1
local zonefile=/usr/share/zoneinfo/$tz
Happy New Year!
