Package: tzdata
Version: 2008c-1
Severity: wishlist
To avoid user inconvenience (and panic) I'd suggest a compatibility
script,
$ cat /usr/sbin/tzconfig
#!/bin/sh
echo "WARNING: the tzconfig command is deprecated, please convert to:"
echo " dpkg-reconfigure tzdata"
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
echo "WARNING: the tzconfig command is deprecated, please convert to:"
echo " dpkg-reconfigure tzdata"
Justification: about a half dozen friends of mine who updated to lenny
asked me: HELP! WHAT HAPPENED TO TIME ZONES??? When you add it up,
having this script in the tzdata package would have saved at least a
half hour of my time explaining it them. These were highly
sophisticated users; I can only imagine the tizzy less sophisticated
users would go into. Totalled across all developers, this script
would save years of debian developer time!
Cheers,
--Barak.
