I thought timezone has glibc dependencies. I would be hesitant to
stuff a package, or even a single file from a package, from one
version into another version, without knowing those dependencies
weren't going to be busted at all.
I just tried my /etc/localtime from a 10.2 box on a 9.2 box and it
didn't work. Still have the old DST dates. :(
How did you test that? By calling zdump with a timezone name? That
takes zonefiles from /usr/share/zoneinfo and not /etc/localtime.
I've got an 8.2 box lying around as well :o Custom app that has a
dependency on an old verion of Tk. Porting, but still have to use the
8.2 box.
I just tried a 10.0 file on an 8.1 box and it works. Since there are
no changes to 10.2, it should work as well.
Check that /usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime is a symlink to
/etc/localtime, as it should be.
Try the following first:
-- Backup (rename) your /usr/share/zoneinfo/ tree.
-- Copy that complete tree from the 10.2 system to your older
system.
-- Check that it works by calling
zdump -v PST8PDT | grep 2007
It must output the March date and not the April date.
-- If it does so, copy the appropriate zoneinfo file to
/etc/localtime. Try again.
