Agreed for resolv.conf, the presense of which always struck me as odd. It would be nice if resolv.conf only overrode DNS information that was stored in the kernel or something (like /etc/conf.d/hostname). If the builds are not affected by the particular timezone selected, why not just hard-code it to UTC? Folks with their hwclock set to a non-UTC timezone might get an artificial offset, but generated tarballs are more host-agnostic, and an offset of a few hours seems harmless. Not a big deal either way, though ;). --=20 This email may be signed or encrypted with GnuPG (http://www.gnupg.org).
