For some time I've been meaning to extend tzselect so that users who care only about timestamps from now on can have a smaller set of timezones to choose from, thus simplifying configuration.
This patchset does this via a new file zonenow.tab, with contents like zone1970.tab except that zonenow.tab partitions based on timestamps from now on, instead of from 1970 on. The new file's format is still experimental and feedback is welcome.
These patches mostly just refactor tzselect, to simplify support for the new feature. The last patch adds the new feature.
I skimmed through all the patches in this set. Other than the minor comment I made about refactoring for the sake of refactoring, the diffs look good to me. I'll try to find a chance to test this on FreeBSD in the coming days. Philip -- Philip Paeps Senior Reality Engineer Alternative Enterprises
