Bug 25028

Summary: make installworld uses wrong time
Product: Base System Reporter: marka <marka>
Component: binAssignee: Warner Losh <imp>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me    
Priority: Normal    
Version: 4.2-STABLE   
Hardware: Any   
OS: Any   

Description marka 2001-02-12 07:20:00 UTC 
	make installworld uses wrong time if system is using wall clock
	time.

	In my case all files installed were 11 hours into the future,
	which is my offset from UTC.

	This is bad if your makefiles have a dependancy on anything
	installed by "make installworld".

Fix: 

I suspect running "adjkerntz -i" will fix this and needs
	to be documented in UPDATING.
How-To-Repeat: 
	Be at a offset from utc and use /etc/wall_cmos_clock
	Reboot to single user
	fsck -p 
	mount -u /
	mount -a
	cd /usr/src
	make installworld
	reboot

	check timestamps in /bin

Mark,

	Did you set your time zone with sysinstall when you installed? Do you have
an /etc/localtime file? My home workstation is dual boot and uses wall
clock time, and I haven't had that experience. Try using /stand/sysinstall,
choosing Configure, then Time Zone. If your problem persists after
(re-)setting the TZ, we'll take it from there.

	I went through the exercise above.

	This is really a documentation problem.

	UPDATING has:

        make buildworld
        make buildkernel KERNEL=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
        make installkernel KERNEL=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
        reboot  (in single user) [1]
        make installworld
        mergemaster
        reboot

	To get from reboot (single user) to make installworld the
	minimum steps should be assuming only local fs.

		fsck -p
		mount -u /
		mount -a
		cd /usr/src
	
	At this stage the kernel still thinks that the clock is at
	UTC (default).

	Running "adjkerntz -i" is not the obvious thing to do before
	running "make installworld" but it needs to be done and to be
	documented.

	Mark

Mark's suggestion seems reasonable and well researched.
