Missing timezones in tzdata
|
Ajay Nagarkar
Hi,
I have a imx6ul board that I am working on (SOM has been purchased from a company). We are using Krogoth (2.1) and we need to have ntpd as a part of the build. ntpd is working ok, however the tzdata that we have in /usr/share/zoneinfo is missing a lot of zones (looking at it in detail we realized that 30 min timezones are missing .. i.e. GMT+4:30 , +5:30 etc.). One hour timezones are available. i,e, GMT-3 ... etc Any suggestion on where to look for or what should be the approach to fix this ? - Ajay |

Hi Ajay,

Your root filesystem will be full of unpatched vulnerabilities. If you are sure you want to continue this way, you should try to update the tzdata recipe to a more recent version (see the updates to the recipe in the Poky git repository).

Thanks Michael for your response I know we are using an old version. It is what the SOM manufacturer supports so we are going with it to start with and we will change once we get a grip on the SOM. Till then we have to work with what we have. We tried updating the recipe and got it to compile and found that ln -sf ..... did not work (did not change the timezone). So back to square one. So from your message I understand we are on the right track , just need to keep debugging And yes we will change to the latest Yocto build soon.
