[gentoo-embedded] timezone

[Natanael Copa]

I'm trying to find out how to get "date" display time for another
timezone than UTC. No matter what I try, date will only show UTC.

When I google on uclibc and busybox it looks like it should be enough to
echo "CEST" > /etc/TZ. But it does not seem to work. I have also tried
to emerge timezone-data but it looks like it belongs to glibc.

Any suggestions?

It was kind of complicated but it helped. Thanks!

Are there any table with all standard timezones available (including
daylight saving times) somewhere?
