Description Louis Sautier (sbraz) gentoo-dev 2020-10-16 21:15:53 UTC
With sys-libs/timezone-data-2020b, zoneinfo files are now created as slim bloats instead of fat by default.
This seems to break multiple packages.

    profiles/package.mask: unmask new sys-libs/timezone-data
    
    USE=zic-slim is disabled by default. That should make new
    versions usable by default for most of users.

    sys-libs/timezone-data: add USE=zic-slim (disable by default)
    
    Many programs can't handle "slim" format of /usr/share/zoneinfo.
    
    Expose an USE flag to allow ease switching back and forth while
    using up to date zoneinfo data.
