I replied to the email, but it didn't respond here. Inconvenient....

Thank Yann,

(This is my first time with a patch)

How to make sure it re-builds tzdata? Or maybe it worked?


Looks like the "mbox" button gives me a .patch file on the webpage. Excellent

I could add it to "br2-patches" and it gets used when I go to menuconfig:
Applying patch:
system-allow-not-setting-a-default-system-wide-time-zone.patch...
patching file package/tz/tz.mk
patching file package/tzdata/tzdata.mk
Hunk #1 succeeded at 25 (offset -1 lines).

patching file system/Config.in

1. Copy ".patch" file into br2-patches
2. Go to menuconfig.
3. Note the patch is actually applied
4. Go to System Configuration
5. Modify "default local time"
6. Change from "Etc/UTC" to empty.
7. F6 to save and F9 to exit
8. Note: No errors on save and exit
9. Start the build and save all output to a file (stdout and stderr)
10. Wasn't able to find "tzdata" in the output
