cdist announcement: __timezone type is becoming singleton

[Darko Poljak]

Hello,

it is noticed that __timezone type is not and _should_ be singleton:

https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/cdist/-/issues/824.

After long discussion we did not find a better solution, so the type is just converted to singleton:

https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/cdist/-/merge_requests/916.

This means that your configuration will break,

but the changes required are minimal.

Migration consists of just adding a parameter name before timezone value, e.g.

this

    #Set up Europe/Andorra as our timezone.
    __timezone Europe/Andorra

becomes

    # Set up Europe/Andorra as our timezone.
    __timezone --tz Europe/Andorra

Release is planned for 1st of September (or later), in the next minor release.

Sorry for breaking.

Darko
