Re: is localtime file binary compatible with older releases?

In article <01794015-8EF8-4809-895C-E04CA6DA78F6@xxxxxxxxx> you write:
Is the compiled time zone info file binary compatible across FreeBSD
versions?

It is backwards-compatible across all versions of the Olson timezone
library going back to before there was a FreeBSD, on all platforms,
regardless of architecture (modulo bugs in libc).
