No one is answering a simple question. Why we have to guard timezone so much?. Why can't I change it? What happens if I change it on a read-only rootfs? I am breaking the whole systemd by doing this? In fact most of the people in this group are suggesting a work-around to me "I wonder: If you have a working pull request, why don't you use that code and be happy with it? That's how free software works. Still everybody interested can apply you patch." Yes, it works. My question is why is not getting included so that everyone can benefit from it. That is how a free software community should work.
It's a general doubt about usefulness. I don't think your need is so general that many people would benefit from it and it breaks conventions that have been used for quite long time.
In this day and age of mobile computing it is really shocking to see. That timezone is not regarded as something that can be dynamically changed.
No, that is not the problem here. TZ is freely changeable and always has been, your problem is the read-only /etc. You should take this up with mender and not systemd; fix it where it is broken and don't try to patch it somewhere else. -- - Juice - _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
