There was a problem hiding this comment.
timedatectl doesn't work on WSL environment
$ timedatectl show -p Timezone
System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.
Failed to connect to system scope bus via local transport: Host is down
I think it's better to put /etc/timezone manually.

The Makefile previously read /etc/timezone to decide whether to use the
Japanese Fedora mirror. That file is not present on all systems (notably
many systemd-based distros that only manage the timezone via timedatectl),
so the check would silently fail.
Read /etc/timezone first, falling back to resolving the /etc/localtime symlink when it is absent.
