Not anymore. If your system has the TIMEZONE variable definition in /etc/conf.d/clock then when you emerge a new sys-libs/timezone-data will update /etc/localtime for you with the correct timezone data. The (potential) problem with symlinking is that /usr might be on the root partition and there is not mounted at the start of the boot sequence. -- [email protected] mailing list
