File tzcode-symlink.patch of Package timezone (Revision eccec06256406d603434634857140c09)

Currently displaying revision eccec06256406d603434634857140c09 , Show latest

This patch is used on openSUSE 12.2 or newer. Nowadays,
/etc/localtime is by default a symbolic link to a zone
file in /usr/share/zoneinfo.

By default, zic tries the following approaches to create
/etc/localtime:

1. Hard link
  2. Symbolic link
  3. File copy

This patch changes the logic slightly: keep using symbolic
links if /etc/localtime is already one. If it isn't, use
the default order as listed above.
