Hello Benjamin, or anyone else affected, Accepted tzdata into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tzdata/2022e-0ubuntu0.18.04.0 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to tzdata in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1992692 Title: tzdata 2022e release Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in tzdata source package in Trusty: Fix Released Status in tzdata source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in tzdata source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in tzdata source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in tzdata source package in Jammy: Fix Committed Bug description: New timezone data, with the following timezones impacted: - Palestine transitions are now Saturdays at 02:00. This means 2022 falls back 10-29 at 02:00, not 10-28 at 01:00. - Simplify three Ukraine zones into one. - Jordan and Syria switch from +02/+03 with DST to year-round +03. icu update to 2022e: https://unicode- org.atlassian.net/browse/ICU-22178 Verification is done with 'zdump'. The first timezone that gets changed in the updated package is dumped with 'zdump -v $region/$timezone_that_changed' (this needs to be greped for in /usr/share/zoneinfo/). [For example: 'zdump -v Asia/Gaza'.] This is compared to the same output after the updated package got installed. If those are different the verification is considered done. [Test Case for all releases] 1) zdump -v Asia/Gaza | grep 'Oct.*2022' -> should indicate Oct 29, not Oct 28 2) zdump -v Asia/Damascus | tail -> last dates should be in 2022, not in 2499 [Test Case for releases >= 20.04 LTS] For releases with ICU timezone data verification is done using the following with dates before and after the change: 1) sudo apt-get install python3-icu 2) Run the following python script: from datetime import datetime from icu import ICUtzinfo, TimeZone tz = ICUtzinfo(TimeZone.createTimeZone("Asia/Gaza")) always_before = datetime(2022, 10, 1) now_before = datetime(2022, 10, 29) always_after = datetime(2022, 11, 1) assert(tz.utcoffset(always_before) == tz.utcoffset(now_before)) assert(tz.utcoffset(now_before) != tz.utcoffset(always_after)) The assertions would crash on 2022c. [Test Case for releases <= 20.04 LTS] Additionally, an upstream update of tzdata removed the 'old' SystemV timezones, so we should ensure that they are kept in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and earlier releases. Subsequently, these should be checked for using the following: diff <(zdump -v America/Phoenix | cut -d' ' -f2-) <(zdump -v SystemV/MST7 | cut -d' ' -f2-) Nothing should be returned by the above command.
