tzsetup: correct timezone symlink target

2024-09-30T14:22:34+00:00

In chroot mode tzsetup prepended the chroot path to the symlink target,
which is not correct.  Use the same path for the symlink regardless of
chroot mode.

Revert "tzsetup: ask local/UTC question only on x86"

2024-06-17T17:04:40+00:00

I am unsure if AArch64 Windows systems keep UTC or local time in the RTC
by default, so keep tzsetup consistent across architectures for now.

This reverts commit aa6fb1d277be47c51abc309ac9305def0fce7f9d.

tzsetup: ask local/UTC question only on x86

2024-06-14T16:15:48+00:00

Storing local time in the RTC is a legacy of 1990s PCs; it's not
relevant on other platforms of interest to FreeBSD.

While here switch to C99 bool.

tzsetup: be explicit about timezone abbreviation

2024-04-16T13:55:46+00:00

During the install process tzsetup asks a question like

    Does the abbreviation `EDT' look reasonable?

The installer asks lots of questions, some that relate to the previous
screen or topic and some that do not.  A new user installed FreeBSD for
the first time and was confused by this question, not realizing that it
was asking whether the abbreviation is correct for the selected
timezone.

tzsetup: symlink /etc/localtime instead of copying

2023-11-24T02:13:49+00:00

Using a symlink means that new timezone data (installed by an errata
update, say) will be usable without having to be copied again.

tzsetup: make UTC the first (default) region

2023-10-30T23:35:21+00:00

Many sysadmins prefer to configure their systems to UTC and it's a
reasonable default when installing, making it easier to get a usable
system by just hitting  repeatidly.

Renumber UTC to 0 to preserve the finger memory of those selecting a
region by shortcut.
