Updated tzdata packages?

[Michael Mansour]

Hi,

I'm just wondering has anyone considered updating the tzdata package for FC1/2?

In Australia for example, our Daylight savings time changed due to the
Commonwealth games. Red Hat have released updates for their distributions, but
looking at FC1/2:

FC1# tzdata-2004b-1.fc1
FC2# tzdata-2005f-1.fc2

# zdump -v Australia/NSW |grep 2006
Australia/NSW  Sat Mar 25 15:59:59 2006 UTC = Sun Mar 26 02:59:59 2006 EST
isdst=1 gmtoff=39600
Australia/NSW  Sat Mar 25 16:00:00 2006 UTC = Sun Mar 26 02:00:00 2006 EST
isdst=0 gmtoff=36000
Australia/NSW  Sat Oct 28 15:59:59 2006 UTC = Sun Oct 29 01:59:59 2006 EST
isdst=0 gmtoff=36000
Australia/NSW  Sat Oct 28 16:00:00 2006 UTC = Sun Oct 29 03:00:00 2006 EST
isdst=1 gmtoff=39600

while FC3 (and above):

# zdump -v Australia/NSW |grep 2006
Australia/NSW  Sat Apr  1 15:59:59 2006 UTC = Sun Apr  2 02:59:59 2006 EST
isdst=1 gmtoff=39600
Australia/NSW  Sat Apr  1 16:00:00 2006 UTC = Sun Apr  2 02:00:00 2006 EST
isdst=0 gmtoff=36000
Australia/NSW  Sat Oct 28 15:59:59 2006 UTC = Sun Oct 29 01:59:59 2006 EST
isdst=0 gmtoff=36000
Australia/NSW  Sat Oct 28 16:00:00 2006 UTC = Sun Oct 29 03:00:00 2006 EST
isdst=1 gmtoff=39600

Obviously this affects the way in which the clock will adjust itself this
coming Saturday (3am goes back to 2am), instead of adjusting itself on April 1.

I realise this isn't a security fix, but why hasn't FL taken the issue on board?

Michael.
