Hi folks. It's a bit of a maintenance headache for distributions when packages include their own copy of the timezone database, since this needs to be updated frequently.
I've prepared a patch to allow the timelib code to use the system timezone database directly; would something like this be acceptable, any thoughts? This passes the ext/date tests, and reduces the PHP binary size by about 300K to boot. Notes: 1) I've not implemented timelib_timezone_builtin_identifiers_list() here since it doesn't seem to be used, is it there for third-party extensions? It could be implemented by iterating through the directory. 2) there's no general way that I can find to obtain the database version, so I just invented a string here. joe Index: ext/date/lib/parse_tz.c =================================================================== RCS file: /repository/php-src/ext/date/lib/parse_tz.c,v retrieving revision 1.35 diff -u -r1.35 parse_tz.c --- ext/date/lib/parse_tz.c 31 Dec 2007 07:12:08 -0000 1.35 +++ ext/date/lib/parse_tz.c 9 Jan 2008 14:04:28 -0000 @@ -20,6 +20,14 @@ #include "timelib.h" +#ifdef HAVE_SYSTEM_TZDATA +#include <sys/mman.h> +#include <sys/stat.h> +#include <limits.h> +#include <fcntl.h> +#include <unistd.h> +#endif + #include <stdio.h> #ifdef HAVE_STRING_H @@ -27,7 +35,10 @@ #else #include <strings.h> #endif + +#ifndef HAVE_SYSTEM_TZDATA #include "timezonedb.h" +#endif #if (defined(__APPLE__) || defined(__APPLE_CC__)) && (defined(__BIG_ENDIAN__) || defined(__LITTLE_ENDIAN__)) # if defined(__LITTLE_ENDIAN__) @@ -202,6 +213,86 @@ } } +#ifdef HAVE_SYSTEM_TZDATA + +#ifdef HAVE_SYSTEM_TZDATA_PREFIX +#define ZONEINFO_PREFIX HAVE_SYSTEM_TZDATA_PREFIX +#else +#define ZONEINFO_PREFIX "/usr/share/zoneinfo" +#endif + +static const timelib_tzdb timezonedb_system = { "0.system", 0, NULL, NULL }; + +/* Return the mmap()ed tzfile if found, else NULL.
