tzdata literally just installs timezone rules. Other than glibc (which
just needs to be patched to not install the rules), no other spell
should require a patch.
Other than my inability to properly write a spell, the only real issue
was that files that should be hard links under /usr/share/zoneinfo
were actual files. That should only happen in rare cases (according to
my testing), but I was aware of it before I pushed the spell.
Originally, I decided to not address it since it should not be common,
you would have the same issue with glibc if this was case and did not
see any bug reports about the issue (though I did admittedly see
http://pastebin.com/fxubrXKH . I have no idea if that is related
however), and I couldn't find a proper solution without wiping out
entire directories.
To keep everyone happy, I looked into it more and figured out what the
issue was (thanks in part to flux's talk about links :), so I
determined a proper solution.
With my last change, tzdata casts fine on every one of my systems and
test chroots. I think it belongs in test, but if you still feel
differently, let me know and I'll open up a branch.
