Add feature to use system `tzdata` instead of vendoring it

Open triallax opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Linux distros already ship tzdata, it would be nice if Numbat could optionally be built to use it instead of vendoring tzdata. This would also reduce the binary size quite a bit (not that it was ever that big anyway).

Looks like https://github.com/kennytm/tzfile already implements everything as required. We could use that on unix. And use chrono_tz on other platforms.

Decided I'm not going to spend time working on this.

With #511, this is now supported, actually.
