Re: [HACKERS] [PATCHES] New Zealand - TZ change

Tom,

 We do not patch those files; the update technique is download, untar,
 commit, and there's really no point in doing it except when a release
 is imminent.  See src/timezone/README and src/tools/RELEASE_CHANGES.

Do we have anything else pending?   We may need to do a release just for this 
timezone update if we don't have anything else within a few weeks.  We have a 
fair number of users in NZ.

I'd kinda like to get 8.3beta1 out the door before we expend time on
another set of back-branch releases.  But maybe in a month or so we
could do this.  We have accumulated some bug fixes since the last round,
and I imagine there will be a few more by then.

Thanks for explanation. However there is still the question when we will release 
new 8.0-8.2 versions. The changes will happen after two months and there is not 
much space for packagers to create and release packages.
