Upgrade to release 4.1:
- It turns out a lot of Linux distributions make the links between
zoneinfo aliases backwards, so instead of linking GB to
Europe/London it actually links the other way. When /etc/localtime
then links to Europe/London, and you also have a config file
saying Europe/London, the code that checks if /etc/localtime is
a symlink ends up at GB instead of Europe/London and we get an
error, as it thinks GB and Europe/London are different zones.
So now we check the symlink of all timezones in the uniqueness
test. We still return the name in the config file, though, so you
would only get GB or Zulu returned as the time zone instead of
Europe/London or UTC if your only configuration is the /etc/localtime
symlink, as that's checked last, and tzlocal will return the first
configuration found.
- The above change also means that GMT and UTC are no longer seen
as synonyms, as zoneinfo does not see them as synonyms. This
might be controversial, but you just have to live with it. Pick one
and stay with it.
