Hello,
Running 4.2 here, and it seems like OpenBSD is one week early can it
comes to turning off daylight saving time, it is already one hour
slow
and this should only happen next week.
And you just found out that it was changing? It was in the news last
year.
I looked at the errate for 4.2 but no such fix. There was one for the
U.S. in 4.0. But here this is Australia/Canberra.
So do what I did last year and find the zonefiles and replace the out
of date ones.
They don't depend on specific OS versions to work.
Grab a recent snapshot and extract the right bits and put them in the
right place.
Easy!
So is this a bug or is there someone fixing this now? Or how can I
fix
this myself?
It's not made by OpenBSD devs. Last year I found the source and
downloaded the Aussie stuff. You get a cushy ride because current
snaps
have what you need.
...or if you're like a lot of OpenBSD users and would prefer to
understand what's going on, replace your src/share/zoneinfo/datfiles/
australasia with that in CVS and then use the instructions in patches/
4.0/common/009_timezone.patch to build and install the time zone.
Furthermore, the notes at the end of src/share/zoneinfo/datfiles/
australasia provide a rather entertaining discussion about
Australia's absurd time zones ;-)
Best wishes,
