Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Canada timezone files

[Bruce S. <bw...@ar...>]

Oh crap, you're right.  I can't believe we didn't catch that.  We have
the same problem in the USA too.  I've been updating all my other boxes
for the new DST, and I forgot all about Devil-Linux.

I've been checking, and it appears that the timezone files are part of
the glibc package.  I'm not sure if we should try updating glibc to the
latest version or just patch the timezone files.

Heiko is on vacation this week.  When he gets back, we'll come up with a
fix and release a new version.  We only have a couple weeks, so we'll
have to hurry.

Thanks for reporting this problem!
