Not instead. The client would be a packaged program which would update the tzdata without changing anything else. In Debian I would try to get it added to the tzdata package. > Why are we re-inventing the wheel here? I don't know of any distribution that provides an easy way arrange for automatic updates of a single file. Then there are embedded systems that have no package-management at all but still may need to know about time zone changes. Of course, I am in no position to do anything but talk the idea up here and maybe write a client, so if no one cares we might as well drop it. -- John Hasler j...@dhh.gt.org Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
