Package: tzdata Version: 2007b-1 Severity: normal The New Zealand Government has altered the dates when Daylight Time will start and end starting this year. Daylight Time will begin one week earlier (on the last Sunday in September, instead of the first Sunday in October), and finish two weeks later:
http://www.dia.govt.nz/diawebsite.nsf/wpg_URL/Services-Daylight-Saving-Daylight-saving-to-be-extended?OpenDocument The tzdata package in testing and unstable (2007f-9) includes this change, and the timezone is correctly reported in those versions (as seen in, eg, "tzdump -v Pacific/Auckland"). However the tzdata package in stable (etch) -- 2007b-1 -- is now out of date for New Zealand ("Pacific/Auckland") and still shows the Daylight Time transition following the old rules. I see an update was issued last year to pick up USA and Australian daylight time changes (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=410146). Is an update for stable (etch) planned to pick up the New Zealand time zone change, either in the main archive or in debian-volatile and/or backports.org? If not, could you recommend the preferred way to update this package on systems running stable (etch)?
