I checked the timezone in two Linux machines.
One of them is Debian Squeeze (which is now OldStable), and the other is
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (12.04.3 LTS, Precise Pangolin - running in a virtual
machine).
I found to my horror that the timezone definitions in them are rather
out of date:
$ zdump -v Asia/Jerusalem |grep 2013
Asia/Jerusalem Thu Mar 28 23:59:59 2013 UTC = Fri Mar 29 01:59:59 2013
IST isdst=0 gmtoff=7200
Asia/Jerusalem Fri Mar 29 00:00:00 2013 UTC = Fri Mar 29 03:00:00 2013
IDT isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
Asia/Jerusalem Sat Sep 7 22:59:59 2013 UTC = Sun Sep 8 01:59:59 2013
IDT isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
Asia/Jerusalem Sat Sep 7 23:00:00 2013 UTC = Sun Sep 8 01:00:00 2013
IST isdst=0 gmtoff=7200
Does anyone have the magic spell how to update the timezones to 2013d
for those machines?
Just download the up-to-date packages and install them manually..
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=tzdata&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=tzdata&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all
did that now on ubuntu 12.04.
need to upgrade both tzdata and tzdata-java together to avoid breaking
dependencies... i don't like taking packages from newer ubuntu versions
- got a feeling it'll bite me sometime soon... oh, well...
