HI! Argentina's government decided to change the timezone with 3 days of anticipation.
I submitted bug 457938, and Clint Adams provided a patch and did an upload of the changed package to unstable. I have applied the same patch to the package in Etch (which is currently the same as the one in volatile) and I have prepared a package which I tested and is working fine. The package can currently be downloaded from: deb http://www.marga.com.ar/~marga/debian/packages/tzdata ./ I'm attaching the interdiff output between -1etch1 and -1etch2 (the one I made). Please tell me how to proceed to include the package in volatile. Thanks! -- Besos, Marga
