I checked the timezone in two Linux machines. One of them is Debian Squeeze (which is now OldStable), and the other is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (12.04.3 LTS, Precise Pangolin - running in a virtual machine).
I found to my horror that the timezone definitions in them are rather out of date: $ zdump -v Asia/Jerusalem |grep 2013 Asia/Jerusalem Thu Mar 28 23:59:59 2013 UTC = Fri Mar 29 01:59:59 2013 IST isdst=0 gmtoff=7200 Asia/Jerusalem Fri Mar 29 00:00:00 2013 UTC = Fri Mar 29 03:00:00 2013 IDT isdst=1 gmtoff=10800 Asia/Jerusalem Sat Sep 7 22:59:59 2013 UTC = Sun Sep 8 01:59:59 2013 IDT isdst=1 gmtoff=10800 Asia/Jerusalem Sat Sep 7 23:00:00 2013 UTC = Sun Sep 8 01:00:00 2013 IST isdst=0 gmtoff=7200 Does anyone have the magic spell how to update the timezones to 2013d for those machines? I plan to upgrade the Debian machine to Debian Wheezy in few days, after an important milestone in my project. I do not have plans to upgrade the Ubuntu virtual machine. --- Omer On Sat, 2013-09-07 at 21:34 +0300, Shlomo Solomon wrote: > I just checked my Mageia 3 and found that the files are from 2013c. > > [solomon@shlomo1 ~]$ /usr/sbin/zdump -v Asia/Jerusalem |grep 2013 > Asia/Jerusalem Thu Mar 28 23:59:59 2013 UTC = Fri Mar 29 01:59:59 2013 IST > isdst=0 > Asia/Jerusalem Fri Mar 29 00:00:00 2013 UTC = Fri Mar 29 03:00:00 2013 IDT > isdst=1 > Asia/Jerusalem Sat Oct 5 22:59:59 2013 UTC = Sun Oct 6 01:59:59 2013 IDT > isdst=1 > Asia/Jerusalem Sat Oct 5 23:00:00 2013 UTC = Sun Oct 6 01:00:00 2013 IST > isdst=0 > > I then updated to 2013d from Cauldron (I wonder why no "production" version > of 2013d).
