From 6d0dec44c44d07e9c572c85e154f3ee97b7cf321 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jaroslav Klech Date: Oct 02 2023 12:51:15 +0000 Subject: Allow Removal of tzdata --- diff --git a/modules/release-notes/pages/sysadmin/System_Utilities.adoc b/modules/release-notes/pages/sysadmin/System_Utilities.adoc index 05c5a23..d439c96 100644 --- a/modules/release-notes/pages/sysadmin/System_Utilities.adoc +++ b/modules/release-notes/pages/sysadmin/System_Utilities.adoc @@ -2,3 +2,8 @@ include::{partialsdir}/entities.adoc[] [[sect-system-utilities]] = System Utilities + +[[full-removal-of-tzdata-in-containers]] +== Allow full removal of the `tzdata` package in containers + +Previously, you could not fully remove `tzdata` in a container due to the package dependencies inside the container. This practice left inconsistent package remnants, and resulted in a confusion about the expected timezone information. This update fixes the problem by making the packages that use `tzdata` at runtime switch from **Require**'ing `tzdata` to **Recommend**'ing `tzdata`. As a result, those packages will gracefully handle the instances where `tzdata` has been removed, and the container environment will default to the UTC standard. Note that removing `tzdata` in a container will reduce the container size. \ No newline at end of file
