Well it was only a matter of: mkdir tzdata2012e-lfs cd tzdata2012e-lfs tar -xf ../tzdata2012e.tar.gz cd .. tar -jcf tzdata2012e-lfs.tar.bz2 tzdata2012e-lfs The file is now at http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/sources/other/tzdata2012e-lfs.tar.bz2 I added the -lfs to the directory name just to prevent confusion with the upstream package. I think this is better than trying to use a different procedure than the "unpack; cd; build" process we use in all the other packages. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
