RHEA-2012:1338 - tzdata enhancement update
Synopsis
tzdata enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Topic
Updated tzdata packages that add two enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Description
The tzdata packages contain data files with rules for various time zones around the world.
This update adds the following enhancements:
-
Daylight saving time in Fiji will start at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, 21st October 2012, and end at 3 am on Sunday, 20th January 2013. (BZ#857904, BZ#857905, BZ#857906, BZ#857907)
-
Tokelau was listed in an incorrect time zone for as long as the Zoneinfo project was in existence. The actual zone was supposed to be GMT-11 hours before Tokelau was moved to the other side of the International Date Line at the end of year 2011. The local time in Tokelau is now GMT+13. (BZ#857904, BZ#857905, BZ#857906, BZ#857907)
All users of tzdata are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add these enhancements.
