Re: [arch-general] /etc/timezone and /etc/localtime

Hello all,

Does anyone know why both /etc/timezone and /etc/localtime are required for systemd? It looks like duplicated data. Also, "man 5 timezone" seems to flash something for a split second and close, which is also rather strange...

"man 5 timezone" seems to be working fine. AFAIK /etc/localtime is a symlink to your time zone file (/usr/share/zoneinfo/[your timezone]) which depends on what you set in your /etc/timezone. -- Aurko Roy GPG key: 0x20C5BC31 Fingerprint:76B4 9677 15BE 731D 1949 85BA 2A31 B442 20C5 BC31
