I found a bit of a problem with /etc/timezone.xml Arizona should be MST7 instead of MST7MDT. I made ticket 174 but someone suguested I post here too.

you may always post your comments and solutions here on this forum

So how long does it take for changes to be applied? I can't modify the xml on my box because it's not in /var or /tmp

[hemertje]

as soon as anyone of our devs can have a look at it and put it online...

[dAF2000]

Please post in your ticket the exact changes. I need the exact changes because I cannot test it here of course.

It looks like the XML points to files in "/share/zoneinfo"
It looks like "setup > system settings > time" in the OpenPLI GUI coppies the file with the name mentioned in the XML from that directory to "/var/etc/localtime"
It looks like all those files are compiled binary files.
I don't know if you get those from somewhere or compile them yourself.
A new file for Arizona needs to be added that reflects it's non participation in DST, then it's name can be put in "/etc/timezone.xml"

currently:

If you want to post a test file I belive I can copy it to "/var/etc/localtime" and try it out for you.

if there is an MST7 already, you don't need to compile new zoneinfo files; we can just edit the timezone.xml

that is what I get from a "ls -a" none of that looks compatable. perhaps you were looking at an enigma2 box

[pieterg]

I didn't look, as I don't have a 500.

Does the (more uptodate) zoneinfo set from the openembedded images contain a working info file for your timezone?

[JediMaster420]

unfortunatly no, I'm gonna drop an e-mail to them to see if they can add it.

[JediMaster420]

I'm not getting a response a from them, don't know what to do next.

had some time zone files compiled for PPC. I can't test it because /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/config may be involed in making sure /var/etc/localtime links back to the "timezone.xml"

Let me know how I can help test it.

Just wen through the sub directories and found lots of different files that may be the one. Anything that says MST, Arizona, Phoenix or GMT-7. The MST file I posted on my ticket came from the root directory. Sorry for messing this up so bad.

[JediMaster420]

OK, found out that the file I posted in my ticket DOES work, just reverts after reboot or reload of settings. (set my box to a time zone that was WAY off to test) So the stuff I posted in my ticket will fix it for sure.

[JediMaster420]

I manualy edited /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/config to say something not recognised in the XML, coppied MST to /var/etc/localtime and got it to stick

[JediMaster420]

So how do we go from here to add the 118byte timezone file and xml changes to the nightly build?

[pieterg]

ok, I've added the MST timezone (both for CDK and OE images)
