I see in CentOS 7 that /etc/localtime is a symlink (which seems
sensible...) but in earlier versions it is a copy of some file from
under /usr/share/zoneinfo.
rpm -q --scripts tzdata
does not show any postinstall script, so in the non-symlink versions,
how does the copied /etc/localtime file get updated with new zone
data?


I believe it is by glibc-common on CentOS 6 - it may be the same on CentOS 7

That is, on CentOS 6, glibc-common has a triggerin script that runs /usr/sbin/tzdata-update when tzdata is installed/updated
