22 That warning has nothing to do with the CLOCK= line. It's related to
23 the TIMEZONE= line, which is new in recent baselayout. It replaces
24 symlinking /etc/localtime as the way to set the timezone. If you didn't
25 merge in changes to /etc/conf.d/clock when you updated baselayout, you
26 won't have the correct section. Paste it from here, or re-emerge
27 baselayout and re-run etc-update:
28
29 # Select the proper timezone. For valid values, peek inside of the
30 # /usr/share/zoneinfo/ directory. For example, some common values are
31 # "America/New_York" or "EST5EDT" or "Europe/Berlin".
32
33 TIMEZONE="America/Detroit"
