Setting the default TZ for the image is something that should be done in a post install script for the tzdata package or something similar.
Since the /etc/localtime is usually a copy/hardlink or symlink to the timezone data we don't want to package it up. Instead we want to perform the actions that a program running on the target system itself would use to change the timezone. So I think the easiest approach is to add a system level configuration variable (set the default). Then use this variable to populate the configuration file that specifies the system timezone... and then use the post install process to check the contents of a text file. Alternatively do this via an initscript -- but for folks w/ read-only filesystems I'm not sure that will work. --Mark On 10/28/11 3:22 AM, Andrea Adami wrote: > On Fri, Oct 28, 2011 at 9:05 AM, Ni Qingliang <niqingli...@insigma.com.cn > <mailto:niqingli...@insigma.com.cn>> wrote: > > THANKS! > > I still want the native support by oe-core/yocto:-).
