http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_mexico11.html http://www.cenam.mx/Hora_oficial/ (Spanish) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Mexico This timezone change is already reflected in the 2015a release of tzdata; my patch just adds the relevant information to the "debian/tzdata.config" and "backward" files. Please note I am unfamiliar with this package, but it does *seem* like necessary to be shown in the system. The patch is trivial, so I'm inlining it. Disregard if I'm mistaken here. If the patch is accepted, I'd ask it to be considered for Jessie installs! diff --git a/backward b/backward index 3ceda88..cc3ec36 100644 --- a/backward +++ b/backward @@ -89,6 +89,7 @@ Link Africa/Tripoli Libya Link America/Tijuana Mexico/BajaNorte Link America/Mazatlan Mexico/BajaSur Link America/Mexico_City Mexico/General +Link America/Cancun Mexico/Sureste Link Pacific/Auckland NZ Link Pacific/Chatham NZ-CHAT Link America/Denver Navajo diff --git a/debian/tzdata.config b/debian/tzdata.config index 67bcb0b..022139e 100644 --- a/debian/tzdata.config +++ b/debian/tzdata.config @@ -218,6 +218,9 @@ convert_timezone() "Mexico/General") echo "America/Mexico_City" ;; + "Mexico/Sureste") + echo "America/Cancun" + ;; "Mideast/Riyadh87") echo "Asia/Riyadh87" ;; -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.19.0-eudyptula5d12e3524822-00194-gd799964 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages tzdata depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.55 tzdata recommends no packages. tzdata suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-glibc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
