[Bug 2058249] Re: US symlinks missing in /usr/share/zoneinfo -> now in tzdata-legacy
I see it now within `/usr/share/doc/tzdata/changelog.Debian.gz`, that's a file I did not check.

[Bug 2058249] Re: US symlinks missing in /usr/share/zoneinfo -> now in tzdata-legacy
In Ubuntu 24.04 (noble) we have /usr/share/doc/tzdata/NEWS.Debian.gz: tzdata (2023d-1) unstable; urgency=medium From 2023c-8 on the tzdata package ships only timezones that follow the current rules of geographical region (continent or ocean) and city name. All legacy timezone symlinks (old or merged timezones mentioned in the upstream backward file) were moved to tzdata-legacy. This includes the US/* timezones. Please install tzdata-legacy in case you need the legacy timezones or to restore the previous behavior. This might be needed in case the system provides timezone-aware data over the network (e. g. SQL databases). -- Benjamin Drung Tue, 02 Jan 2024 14:17:33 +0100 The debian changelog contains for 2023c-8: * Ship only timezones in tzdata that follow the current rules of geographical region (continent or ocean) and city name. Move all legacy timezone symlinks (that are upgraded during package update) to tzdata-legacy. This includes dropping the special handling for US/* timezones. (Closes: #1040997) Improvements to the documentation are welcome. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2058249 Title: US symlinks missing in /usr/share/zoneinfo -> now in tzdata-legacy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/2058249/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 2058249] Re: US symlinks missing in /usr/share/zoneinfo -> now in tzdata-legacy
Thank you, that certainly resolves the missing files. While I understand the reason behind the switch, I can't find where the "intentional change" is communicated. There is no `apt changelog tzdata`, and nothing else I see gives me a hint that the package was split in that way. While it may not impact everybody like it did me, is there some way to formally communicate this, perhaps within the package description for `tzdata`? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2058249 Title: US symlinks missing in /usr/share/zoneinfo -> now in tzdata-legacy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/+bug/2058249/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yes, this is an intentional change. All backward compatibility symlinks were moved to the tzdata-legacy package.
