Bug#457938: tzdata: Argetina adds DST from 30 dec till 16 mar
Package: tzdata
Version: 2007j-2
Severity: normal
Hi!
As a show of how third world we are, our Congress approved yesterday a
law that says that we are to start using DST in 3 days.
The change means the time will go forward on December 30th 0 hour, and
it will go backwards on March 16th (the exact moment for the end is not
mentioned in any piece of information I could find, but I suspect we
will have two 23 hours).
Just to be clear, from Dec 30 till Mar 16 we will be GMT-2 and then
back to GMT-3
But, the president will go on deciding the dates for the DST change as
time passes, so it won't be the same for next year.

I hope you can make the change.
Thanks!!!
Love,
Marga.
