A very simple Python script that utilizes Geoclue through PYGobject with timezonefinder to obtain a timezone string which could be used to assist with dynamically setting /etc/localtime.
venv --system-site-packages .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python ll2tz.py
After you've created a venv with the necessary dependencies, you can
execute through ll2tz.sh from anywhere, without the need to activate the
virtual environement first.
You could set /etc/localtime like this:
sudo ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/$(l22tz.sh) /etc/localtime
In fact, I've made a helper script that can be used in combination with
NetworkManager-dispatch. Place ll2tz-setter.sh in:
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatch.d
Make sure the script is executable and owned by root. The script will
trigger when a network interface goes up. You can see what it did by
looking at /tmp/ll2tz-setter.out.
- Make pip-installable (upload to pip)
- Optional: make package for void linux
