Not anymore. If your system has the TIMEZONE variable definition in |
| 10 |
/etc/conf.d/clock then when you emerge a new sys-libs/timezone-data |
| 11 |
will update /etc/localtime for you with the correct timezone data. |

The (potential) problem with symlinking is that /usr might be on the |
| 14 |
root partition and there is not mounted at the start of the boot |
| 15 |
sequence. |
