Bug#780419: tzdata: Please add the new Mexico/Sureste timezone to the Debian-specific package information
Package: tzdata
Version: 2015a-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The state of Quintana Roo, in South-Eastern Mexico, has its own
timezone since this February:
http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_mexico11.html
http://www.cenam.mx/Hora_oficial/ (Spanish)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Mexico
This timezone change is already reflected in the 2015a release of
tzdata; my patch just adds the relevant information to
the "debian/tzdata.config" and "backward" files.
Please note I am unfamiliar with this package, but it does *seem* like
necessary to be shown in the system. The patch is trivial, so I'm
inlining it. Disregard if I'm mistaken here.
If the patch is accepted, I'd ask it to be considered for Jessie
installs!
