Daylight Savings Time Extended

[Jerry DuVal]

I am trying to determine if the timezone data in libc6 has been updated already for next years extension of daylight savings time in the United States. I can find updates, but nothing stating that libc6 has been updated for this change in Daylight Savings time specifically. I need to report how I am going to handle this and rather than state that I plan on simply updating libc6. I would like to say that libc6 was updated on xx-xx-xx and we can update at anytime.   Thanks        Here is what I have found. Can anyone assist?   http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/system-administrator/ch-sysadmin-time.html states: If the Timezone is correctly set up, and the timezone configuration files are reasonably current, the local time shown by the operating system will change to Daylight Saving Time and back to normal time automatically on the correct dates. If the timezone files you have are old, there may be problems because DST start and end dates are not determined by a physical phenomenon, but are chosen by national institutions. Sometimes these dates are changed, for example, the European Union changed the end date from the last Sunday in September to the last Sunday in October in 1995. For this reason, you should make sure that your libc6 package is kept reasonably up to date. This package, from Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 onwards, contains the timezone data. the change log for libc6 states: glibc (2.3.2.ds1-22sarge1) stable; urgency=low   * Lionel Elie Mamane [EMAIL PROTECTED]    - debian/patches/90_glibc232-timezones.dpatch: Update to tzdata2006b.  -- Aurelien Jarno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>  Thu, 23 Mar 2006 00:12:10 +0100
