Bug#410146: tzdata: Daylight savings rule changes for US effective 11 March 2007

[Karsten Self <kmself@ix.netcom.com>]

Package: tzdata
Version: 2006c-2
Severity: important


Daylight savings time rules change in the US, effective March 1, 2007,
moving start of DST to the second Sunday of March (11 March 2007) rather
than first Sunday of April (1 April 2007).  It is now 7 Feb 2007.

The rules are already changed upstream, and upstream is already
propogated to unstable. (tzdata_2007a-3).

I don't see any indication that packages are going to be updated in time
for the change to occur (and any local on-site testing which may be
desired) for testing / stable, and would strongly encourage any planed
release of updated tzdata packages to be expedited.  NOCs tend to get
anxious about this sort of thing.

That is all ;-)


Peace.
