The tzdata RPM is a noarch, so a version from any distro that's even close should work. I had been asked to look into this, and I was watching for the change to RHEL4, but there has never been any mention in the changelog for the package.
So I did a quick search, and found out about using the zdump command. It turns out that even the tzdata-2005m package from RHEL4 update 2 has the proper definitions for 2007. It looks like they anticipated the change to the dates, and prepositioned the update. If the current RPMs are incompatible, Lea might be able to extract the tables from the package and install them manually. Alternatively, pull the latest sources from the tzdata source package, adjust the tables manually, and use zic to compile them. Zdump will tell you if you got it right. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Post, Mark K Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 11:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LINUX-390] Time Zone problem One of the downsides of running an OS that's been out of support for 3 years. Since there's no executable code in the timezone RPMs, you could just take one from RHEL, or Fedora. Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stahr, Lea Sent: Monday, January 08, 2007 11:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Time Zone problem I have what I think is a major Linux problem (not on s390 of course). I have a large Red Hat 8 cluster. I have searched the Red Hat database and found the Time Zone patch https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2006-0745.html but it does not list a RH8 version. Any ideas? I have the patch for SuSE already and am installing that already on my 15 systems. I found the RHEL3 patch listed also that I need.
