[Devil-linux-develop] Problem with kernel version string

[Andrzej O. <an...@ma...>]

Hi,

Behavior I observed is typical, when timezone in build environment is not set 
correctly. But As for now, I don't know, who (which package) is source of this.

Builds I'm doing on DL (without of grsec ofcourse). But i think, source of 
problem is not in base system.

After chrooting, there is executed /root/.bash_profile and there is set 
timezone by zic.

After chrooting command 'date' is working correctly.

But immediatelly before Linux kernel is to be build, "date" is working 
incorrectly:

> root:/build# date
> Mon Mar 29 11:05:40 Local time zone must be set--see zic manual page 2010

so version is set incorrectly as mkcompile_h script used in kernel build 
process to create compile.h header with defined kernel version string uses 
"date" command to insert date into kernel version string. Because of this 
after booting built system I obtain:

> root:~ # uname -v
> #1 SMP Sun Mar 28 02:06:17 Local time zone must be set--see zic

I don't know, who (which package in his build process) destroys settings of 
timezone (/etc/timezone file?). TIMEZONE variable is set coorectly. And after 
calling zic again all is coorect.

I patch for my needs linux script, setting here again timezone by zic. But 
maybe You know better place to do it.

Best regards
