If memory serves me right: 1. A couple of months ago someone on debian-user asked about an up to date zones info. I believe he was from Brazil and they had a DST issue much like the one we are used to. 2. There are complaints on debian-devel that the last Debian release had an old zones info. Why would people care if this is a non moving target? Actually, why would the site that Ehud Karni mentioned carry updates 3-6 times a year if this information is fixed? > So basically all you need is up-to-date Israely compiled timezone data. > Your distro should supply you the rest of the compiled timezones. > > > On Thu, 1 Aug 2002 10:12:19 +0300 , Tzafrir Cohen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > TZ> > > TZ> However, this is a good time to ask: exactly how binary-compatible is the > > TZ> cmpiled file? > > > > >From my experience (and reading) the binary (zic compiled) file are > > compatible on ALL systems using zone-info files (according to the above > > site - GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DJGPP, HP-UX, IRIX, Open UNIX, > > Solaris, and Tru64 - all use the same source). > > > > Ehud. > > Well, it seems appropriate that the huji site will carry a compiled > time-zone as well. > > If not, I'll add ones on IGLU. > > -- > Tzafrir Cohen > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir > -- Shaul Karl, [EMAIL PROTECTED] e t ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
