DESCRIPTION

This cookbook uses the tzdata package to update your system timezone.

It is only tested on Debian/Ubuntu, but would be easy to adapt and pull requests are welcome.

ATTRIBUTES

timezone[:zone]- The name of the timezone to configure. Eg. America/New_York. This value will be used as your /etc/timezone and the corresponding zoneinfo file will be symlinked to your /etc/localtime. Default: UTC
timezone[:tz_file]- File containing the configured timezone. Default: /etc/timezone

USAGE

'default' recipe

Installs the tzdata package and updates the timezone using dpkg-reconfigure tzdata if needed.
