Description: This update fixes zic -l to copy the timezone also correctly when hardlinking fails (due to /usr being on a separate partition) (bnc#607532) * DST changes: Africa/Cairo (Egypt) and Asia/Gaza (Palestine) do not use daylight saving during the month of Ramadan in order to prevent Muslims from fasting one hour longer. http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/egypt-ends-dst-2010.htm l http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/westbank-gaza-end-dst-2 010.html Africa/Casablanca (Marocco) has spent the period from May 2 to Aug 8 using daylight saving. Marocco adopted regular daylight saving, but the start and end dates vary every year. http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/morocco-starts-dst-2010 .html America/Argentina/San_Luis (Argentina region) local government did not terminate its DST period as planned and instead decided to extend its use of the UTC-3 time indefinitely. http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_argentina08.h tml * New zones: America/Bahia_Banderas (Mexican state of Nayarit) has declared that it is to follow the UCT-6 time instead of UCT-7, with the aim to have the same time as the nearby city of Puerto Vallarta. http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_mexico08.html * Historical changes: Asia/Taipei information on DST usage listed 1980 as one year using DST, which should read 1979 instead according to government resources. Europe/Helsinki, before switching to Central European standard DST in 1983, trialled DST for two years. However, the database omitted to specify that in these trials of 1981 and 1982, switches have been made one hour earlier than in 1983. * Spelling changes in Micronesia: Pacific/Truk has been renamed to Pacific/Chuuk in 1989.
