Hi Tom, The horology test failed on both 8.x branches for Snake (win32) last night. It appears one of the timezones has changed - does the test need to be updated for the new DST rules you mention, or is this something else?

Example: Ooops, didn't occur to me to check the regression tests :-( The comments added in the zic database point out that Congress reserved the right to undo this change if the administration couldn't prove a sufficient energy savings. Ignoring the point that all the transition costs would have to be paid over again to undo the law change (commentary suppressed by sheer force of will), should we consider modifying the regression tests to be unaffected, rather than just updating the expected outputs? The original test author certainly wasn't expecting dates in March to be affected by DST. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
