( Wrapup head posted ) Thanks Kris, I dont have a problem with the normal make world etc (do it regularly on non production stuff, but I was kinda hoping that I could do this zoneinfo build as a mini build on the production webserver to A) obviate the need to make world B) head off a mini problem that may never actually occur with the use of the zoneinfo data.. Push comes to shove - if a timezone/daylight savings setting needs altering I can carefully modify the appropriate file and re-zic things. ta mjt On Wed, 2004-03-31 at 12:03, Kris Kennaway wrote: > On Wed, Mar 31, 2004 at 11:53:18AM +1000, Murray Taylor wrote: > > Question not responded to in a week.. > > > > -----Forwarded Message----- > > From: Murray Taylor <murraytaylor@bytecraftsystems.com> > > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > > Subject: Is this the right / best way of updating zoneinfo only > > Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2004 10:48:17 +1100 > > > > Is this the right way to update the zoneinfo data > > used for the time / timezone related calls.. > > > > cvsup -STABLE > > cd /usr/src/share/zoneinfo > > make > > make install > > > > I need to ensure that the zoneinfo is upto date on say a monthly cycle > > and dont really want or need to recompile everything... > > I looked at the Makefile and the included bsd.prog.mk file and > > decided that I dont need to learn _that much_ about makefiles .. ;-) > > That might work, but it's not guaranteed to always work.
