I have found current version 8.33 only in RELENG_8. This spring Russian government had canceled Daylight saving time. So if you are still using 7.X or 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 in Russia, this fall you will definitely have problems with you timezone. Whole country will stay with UTC+4 and you will back to winter time UTC+3. That is not good at all =) Please update share/zoneinfo in src and add new /usr/share/zoneinfo/ files in binary update. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: 1) Download new europe version from ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/ or from RELENG_8 to /usr/src/share/zoneinfo/ 2) cd /usr/src/share/zoneinfo/ 4) make clean; make install 5) (if it's needed) cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Moscow /etc/localtime >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:help
