For many years, tzdata was embedded into glibc. It is really data for glibc to use with the zic command installed with glibc. I don't think it makes sense to separate this from glibc. I really don't see the issue here that is different from the creation of /etc/nsswitch.conf. If needed we can create a new remap="" attribute or perhaps reuse remap="make". However, what we have now works fine for me. > This is the reason why I'd like to separate the tzdata scriptlet > from that of glibc and same for XML::Parser. I take no position on this as it only affects the systemd branch, but BLFS does have many modules on the same page. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
