Hi everyone, The tzdata package ships /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/ (for Coordinated Universal Time) and /usr/share/zoneinfo/right/ (for International Atomic Time). The files in /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/ are identical to their counterpart in /usr/share/zoneinfo/. The tzdata package converts the configured posix/* and right/* timezones to their unprefixed variant on every package upgrade (e.g. it changes "posix/Europe/Berlin" to "Europe/Berlin").
Is there anybody actually using /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix or /usr/share/zoneinfo/right? Aurelien and I assume that probably nobody is using them. We plan to drop both directories. If nobody speaks up, I will remove them in the coming weeks from the Ubuntu tzdata package prior to the feature freeze. After the Debian 12 "bookworm" release, we will remove it from Debian. -- Benjamin Drung Debian & Ubuntu Developer -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
