DST patch for RedHat Linux

[Young, Mike]

I got this response from inode0 a while back:

Q: (Redhat Mailing List) Does anyone know how to make a custom /etc/localtime file on Red Hat in preparation for the upcoming DST changes (March 11)? I have some older Red Hat builds (circa 7.x), and I cannot find any glibc patches with the newer time zone information. On other *nix flavors they are flat files, and can be edited with vi, but with Red Hat they are binary.

A: (inode0) Get the current zone files from ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub.. Use zic to compile them, cp or link the appropriate one to /etc/localtime, and perhaps run timeconfig or whatever is available on your system.

Has anyone seen any links to making the modifications to RedHat 8?  We 
aren't going to have time to upgrade the server before this weekend.
