there was a discussion about this a while back (or was it on
linux-users@unsw ?)
the zoneinfo with glibc 2.1 already contains the changes, else you can
grab the zone data from the glibc source, or do a search for
"tzdata2000". the zone data can simply be compiled with zic(8) and
plonked over your existing zoneinfo files.
to check:
zdump -v Australia/Sydney | grep -C4 -w 2000
and make sure that 2000 changes in March and August, whereas 1999 and
2001 (and all other SOCOGless years) change in March and October.
eg: on my debian potato (glibc2.1) system:
madcow:~> zdump -v Australia/Sydney | grep -C4 -w 2000 | cut -d\ -f -7
