I noticed the following in glibc's Makeconfig yesterday, but because glibc-2.15 had the same, I was none the wiser :
# What to use for leap second specifications in compiling the # default # timezone files. Set this to `/dev/null' for no leap second # handling as # 1003.1 requires, or to `leapseconds' for proper leap second # handling. # Both zone flavors are always available as `posix/ZONE' and # `right/ZONE'. # This variable determines the default: if it's `/dev/null', # ZONE==posix/ZONE; if it's `leapseconds', ZONE==right/ZONE. ifndef leapseconds leapseconds = /dev/null endif I'll take a look at how debian do things. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
