[systemd-devel] Using timedatectl on a readonly rootfile system using mender

[Shravan Singh]

 Hello,
I have raspberry-pi cm3 which is running an embedded yocto poky linux
warrior branch with mender.

I have made my rootfs as read-only because of which I am not able to use
timedatectl to change the system time zone.

I was looking through the c code which makes me think that even if I did
create and change symlink to point to a file in a read and write location
of the memory. It won't make any difference.

I looked into the file timedated.c and here is where I wanted some help. I
see the line
* r= get_timzeone()* in the function *context_read_data* all I want to know
is where is *get_timezone* defined and how is it calling */etc/localtime*

Any help will be appreciated. I have raised questions everywhere and I am
not getting any help at all.

And I am not an embedded developer. This place is my last cry for help
Regards,
Shravan Singh
