Not needed indeed. The previous setting caused confusion because |
| 11 |
changing it didn't actually change the timezone (this isn't the place for |
| 12 |
the technical details). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Now, the clock config file simply sets local or UTC, while the timezone |
| 15 |
is set using the standard glibc /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/ |
| 16 |
<whatever-zone> symlink or the TZ environmental variable (see the tzset |
| 17 |
and hwclock manpages among others). |
