Hi y'all, I have the dubious honour of living in New South Wales, Australia. This year (2000) there is some sporting event happening in September/October, and as a result we'll be required to begin Daylight Savings Time earlier. "How much earlier?" I hear you ask. 2 months! The official start for NSW (not Victoria or Tasmania) this year is "Sunday August 27, 2000" (source: <http://dir.gis.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/genobject/document/other/daylightsaving/tigGmZITWr0>; ). I noticed that going onto DST and coming off just recently all happened automagically in FreeBSD. But, I am wondering if the zoneinfo file for Australian EST is set up to cope with the early start in NSW (and ACT) this year? I suspect not. Is this a non-issue, or can we ask who ever looks after the ZoneInfo files to be nice and issue a corrected one for this year? If there is a method of modifying the zoneinfo files myself, then I'll be happy with that as a 'workaround' ;') Thanks and regards, Haxxa To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
