Thu Jul 17 05:53:08 UTC 2014

[YOCTO #6544]

Test Steps:

1. Vim local.conf
The tzdata supplyed timezone info.
...
MACHINE ?= "qemuarm"
IMAGE_FEATURES += "ssh-server-dropbear"
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " tzcode tzdata"
...

2. bitbake core-image-minimal

3. start qemu and ssh target

4. Use busybox as default shell(bash not installed any more)
root at qemuarm:~# ls /bin/sh -al
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            19 Jul 17 03:45 /bin/sh -> /bin/busybox.nosuid

5. Use busybox's awk by default
root at qemuarm:~# which awk
/usr/bin/awk
root at qemuarm:~# ls -al /usr/bin/awk
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            19 Jul 17 03:45 /usr/bin/awk -> /bin/busybox.nosuid

6. test case 1: set timezone directly
...
root at qemuarm:~# tzselect -c +4852+00220
Please identify a location so that time zone rules can be set correctly.
Please select one of the following time zone regions,
listed roughly in increasing order of distance from +4852+00220.
 1) France
 2) Belgium
 3) Luxembourg
 4) Jersey
 5) Britain (UK)
 6) Guernsey
 7) Netherlands
 8) Germany - Busingen
 9) Switzerland
10) Liechtenstein
#? 1

The following information has been given:

	coord +4852+00220
	France

Therefore TZ='Europe/Paris' will be used.
Local time is now:	Wed Jul 16 13:42:29 CEST 2014.
Universal Time is now:	Wed Jul 16 11:42:29 UTC 2014.
Is the above information OK?
1) Yes
2) No
#? 
1) Yes
2) No
#? 1

You can make this change permanent for yourself by appending the line
	TZ='Europe/Paris'; export TZ
to the file '.profile' in your home directory; then log out and log in again.

Here is that TZ value again, this time on standard output so that you
can use the /usr/bin/tzselect command in shell scripts:
Europe/Paris
....

7. test case 2: set timezone interactively
...
root at qemuarm:~# tzselect 
Please identify a location so that time zone rules can be set correctly.
