[systemd-devel] [PATCH] timedated: add --timezone option to set the default timezone

Hi,
I omitted explain about.
/etc have many system's configuration files. "localtime" is one of them.
Normally /etc is on readable and writable location.
So if we want to change our system's timezone, we could change the link 
to proper timezone.

In Tizen, "/etc"  is on read only partition to prevent that some 
configuration file is written by someone(bad or not).
So we can't change the symbolic link (/etc/localtime) in runtime while 
we use /etc.
So we use other location for system's timezone (/opt/etc/localtime) 
after link /etc/localtime from /opt/etc/localtime.
Ofcourse /opt/etc/localtime links from /usr/share/zoneinfo/...
In our case, if we want to set the timezone using timedated via dbus, we 
should modify the timedated code.
So I attatched this patch to give option to system using like this.

Thank you
