New Zealand is about to change to their NZ Daylight time next weekend,
this is earlier by a couple of weeks than last year. A bug report for
this change was posted to Novell and to the clib group for this.

I have a feeling that this whole Daylight savings start/stop thingy is
going to be an issue that IT is going to have to handle on a more
frequent basis. Now that countries are waking up to global warmimg and
governments see that having more daylight time as a way they can say to
their constituants they are doing something about it.

Maybe we need to look at a more friendly way of implementing changes in
OpenSUSE than patches. Coming from a NetWare background I remember a
screen during install that allowed for the start and stop times to be
changed from default times to allow for these sort of issues.
