Title: tzdata.tcz and On-line Repository Browser
Post by: sbp on June 23, 2015, 08:05:45 AM

Hi Belà

I'm looking into the timezone settings again, but now I can't find the tzdata.tcz for piCore?
If using tce it is not able to find and download it.

If using the On-line Repository Browser there seems to be a tzdata.tcz available?


As a side note:
Regarding the On-line Repository Browser it is really a good and useful tcz-browser.

In order to improve its usefulness I have a request. Could it be possible to have a back button?
If you have used the search button and want to read about a tcz-package it is difficult to go back to your search results again to look up another package.

Regards
Steen

Hi Steen

in the Online Repository Browser it is shown for x86/x86_64 in 6.x repo, not for armv6/armv7. I will add it.

Will add BACK button.

Regards... Béla

The browser's back button works for me? (Not saying it shouldn't be added, just curious)

For me it shows a warning about a formulae which is too old,  and ask if I will submit again.

To get the correct time, I copied the file ´/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin´ from another GNU/Linux PC (x86_64) ,
put a symlink in bootlocal.sh and to my surprise it works!



ln -fs /mnt/mmcblk0p2/Berlin /etc/localtime

Did you try to set time adding the tz=... boot code to cmdline.txt?

No, I didn´t .
In all honesty I did not have to since as soon as I created the simlink the time got corrected instantly (no rebooting or other action)
