How to change date of end of daylight savings time?
Hi all, Because of the Commonwealth Games, governments in Australia have changed the date for the end of daylight savings time from 2006-03-26 to 2006-04-02. See eg. http://www.abc.net.au/backyard/timezone.htm http://www.legislation.nsw.gov.au/fragview/inforce/act+71+2005+sch.1+0+N As a result, the date currently in eg. /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Sydney is no longer correct. See below. How do I change all affected files to the correct date? Best regards, Paul Leopardi linfinit:/usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia # zdump -v -c 2007 Australia/Sydney | grep 2006 Australia/Sydney Sat Mar 25 15:59:59 2006 UTC = Sun Mar 26 02:59:59 2006 EST isdst=1 gmtoff=39600 Australia/Sydney Sat Mar 25 16:00:00 2006 UTC = Sun Mar 26 02:00:00 2006 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=36000 Australia/Sydney Sat Oct 28 15:59:59 2006 UTC = Sun Oct 29 01:59:59 2006 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=36000 Australia/Sydney Sat Oct 28 16:00:00 2006 UTC = Sun Oct 29 03:00:00 2006 EST isdst=1 gmtoff=39600
Hi all, To answer my own question, I used the instructions at http://www.bleedingedge.com.au/blog/archives/2006/01/fixing_the_time.html which seem to apply just as well to SuSE Linux as they do to Mac OS X. Best, Paul On Saturday 18 March 2006 14:01, Paul C. Leopardi wrote:
