Hi there,
Right now I am experimenting with trying to integrate the tzdata dataset into an embedded setup where I am not able to use zic(8) + /usr/share/zoneinfo.
I'm not sure I understand why you can't use the zoneinfo files, built elsewhere?
Especially since, even if you have no filesystem, they can be compiled into your executable. (And the compiled format is architecture-independent, so the same data files can be used on any platform.) It is really unfortunate that so many people insist on reinventing the wheel. -GAWollman
