The following reply was made to PR conf/3087; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Bruce Evans <bde@zeta.org.au> To: cmakin@gadget.nla.gov.au, FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: conf/3087: Problem with zone info for Canberra Australia Date: Tue, 25 Mar 1997 16:31:18 +1100 >>Synopsis: Zone Info for Australia/Canberra is wrong. > > All for clients in Canberra (and Sydney as well) > >>Description: > > The zoneinfo database for Australia/Canberra and Australia/Sydney > are wrong due to stupid political daylight savings changes. > >>How-To-Repeat: > > Type "date". :) The problem seems to be that Australia/Canberra doesn't exist :-). It was merged with Sydney a year ago, almost in time for the DST change last March. Old releases remain out of date of course. 2.2 should be up to date enough. It is missing the Jan 2 1997 zoneinfo changes in -current, but that didn't change much. Here is the log message for the relevant change: ---------------------------- revision 1.6 date: 1996/03/02 21:47:04; author: wollman; state: Exp; lines: +208 -127 Update timezone files to 96c from vendor branch. Australia/Canberra is dead (use Australia/Sydney). Asia/Tel_Aviv has been renamed Asia/Jerusalem. ---------------------------- Bruce
