Darryl, Hopefully they will fix it, if not you can take a working zone file from 10.2 and use it to overwrite /etc/localtime. It worked on our systems.
I thought timezone has glibc dependencies. I would be hesitant to stuff a package, or even a single file from a package, from one version into another version, without knowing those dependencies weren't going to be busted at all.
I just tried my /etc/localtime from a 10.2 box on a 9.2 box and it didn't work. Still have the old DST dates. :(
How did you test that? By calling zdump with a timezone name? That takes zonefiles from /usr/share/zoneinfo and not /etc/localtime.
I've got an 8.2 box lying around as well :o Custom app that has a dependency on an old verion of Tk. Porting, but still have to use the 8.2 box.
I just tried a 10.0 file on an 8.1 box and it works. Since there are no changes to 10.2, it should work as well. Check that /usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime is a symlink to /etc/localtime, as it should be. Try the following first: -- Backup (rename) your /usr/share/zoneinfo/ tree. -- Copy that complete tree from the 10.2 system to your older system. -- Check that it works by calling zdump -v PST8PDT | grep 2007 It must output the March date and not the April date. -- If it does so, copy the appropriate zoneinfo file to /etc/localtime. Try again.
