It has also been mentioned that a link is bad when /usr is not a separate filesystem, but also do not forget that when in a jailed environment, a link would not be used. The actual file would be copied to the jailed environment. Redhat doesn’t support a separate /usr or any systemd at all past the version where they deemed /usr separate and invalid. Although I have a patch which fixes that. Do not link. Copy is what should be done. Since we have no control at what the user will execute, copying the TZ data file to /etc/localtime is desired. LFS does not have a solution as it isn’t required. The user gets to choose what they want to do and how to achieve it. Just because a few major distros decide how it is to be done, doesn’t mean it is correct for the target audience of LFS. I don’t know where /etc/localtime generated from, but it isn’t from the FHS. It is way before 1990 but I can’t find the source..
