Details

After performing an installation selecting local time instead of UTC now rc.conf gets updated with "local" instead of "localtime".

I don't know if it's really important for something (for example in rc.sysinit it only appears in "else"'s branches so nothing to worry about there).

HARDWARECLOCK="local" instead of HARDWARECLOCK="localtime".

2 patches attached, if you need any.
   localtime.patch (0.3 KiB)
   localtime2.patch (0.5 KiB)
This task depends upon

HWCLOCK_PARAMS="--hctosys"
if [ "$HARDWARECLOCK" = "UTC" ]; then
HWCLOCK_PARAMS="$HWCLOCK_PARAMS --utc"
else
HWCLOCK_PARAMS="$HWCLOCK_PARAMS --localtime"
fi

like you said, if it's only used there, we don't need to worry.
Anyone knows if it is used elsewhere?

Nope, I think that's it.

We should still fix it to say "localtime", but it's harmless.

I ported your patch to AIF.
closing this ticket because archlinux-installer is being deprecated.
