Hello list,
I'm building gtk# (new package) and encountered a little and annoying problem.
If tz localtime is not setup (/etc/localtime and /etc/timezone), gtk#
crashes bacause timezone cannot be null.
Having a timezone is a good practice, but I noticed that buildroot
doesn't enforce that: when TZ_LOCALTIME is empty the timezone is
simply not set up, thus relying on correct implementations in user
code.
I wrote a dirty patch that sets TZ_LOCALTIME to Etc/UTC if empty, so
the timezone is correctly configured making gtk# happy.
I ask an advice on how to solve this problem the right way to have the
patches included.
Sincerely, Angelo
