[gentoo-user] Problems with time stamp while unpacking portage

[Felipe Ribeiro]

Hi all,

I'm new to gentoo, and right now i'm installing it for the first time.
I have a problem, my timezone is gmt+3, and when i try to unpack the
last portage file, i get this message:

tar: portage/games-rpg: time stamp 2005-12-11 01:36:10 is 4154 s in the future
tar: portage: time stamp 2005-12-11 01:55:06 is 5290 s in the future

Is there anything i can do?

Thanks in advance,

Felipe Ribeiro

The installer cd probably thinks your time zone is UTC, so you should can use the "date" command to temporarily syncronize the system time with the current UTC time.

The localization guide [1] has instructions to configure the time zone on your installed system.  After you have /etc/localtime and /etc/conf.d/clock confgured properly, you can run `/etc/init.d/clock restart` to make the settings take affect.
