It's just a very small text file containing the default timezone name -- eg. I have: % cat zoneinfo Europe/London Just creating that file will quiet mergemaster, although it won't be of any use to tzsetup in 7.4-STABLE. Looks like this MFC only went into stable/8, and not stable/7: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=220183 but the related /var/db/zoneinfo code in mergemaster was merged to stable/7 (as well as stable/8): http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=227150 Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate JID: matthew@infracaninophile.co.uk Kent, CT11 9PW [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.16 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk7aUk4ACgkQ8Mjk52CukIxk+wCeNB5Pjur2EeUb+p56GCYIxCTq WVYAoJL3+GLZti2dMhlaoJL+5cDILCRg =K1R/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
