1 * You have an invalid TIMEZONE setting in /etc/timezone
2 * Your /etc/localtime has been reset to Factory; enjoy!
3 * Updating /etc/localtime with /usr/share/zoneinfo/Factory

5 cat /etc/timezone
6 TIMEZONE="EST5EDT"

8 I can't figure out what this file wants. I've tried several settings
9 and I don't seem to be able to get it right. (maybe a bug?)
10
11 so maybe timezone-data should install the file with a default, and
12 some examples. because updating documentation is always a good thing.
13 It's getting hard to keep track of where things are moving to.
14
15 like where I'm supposed to set things like EDITOR, and XSESSION with
16 openrc moving everything around, could we please put these things in
17 one place? /etc/env.d or /etc/conf.d? also could all the necessary
18 files be created for us? I think this should apply to
19 /etc/env.d/02locale as well. I don't see why this isn't created with
20 some comments by default.
