Bug#934688: stretch-pu: package tzdata/2019b-0+deb9u1
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: stretch
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
I have just uploaded tzdata version 2019b-0+deb9u1 to stretch-pu. This
new upstream version is already in testing and sid. It contains changes
that affect the following past and future timestamps:
- Brazil has canceled DST and will stay on standard time indefinitely.
- Predictions for Morocco now go through 2087 instead of 2037.
- Palestine's 2019 spring transition was 03-29 at 00:00, not 03-30
at 01:00. Guess future transitions to be March's last Friday at 00:00.
- Many corrections to historical Hong Kong transitions from 1941 to 1947.
Such changes usually go through (old)stable-updates, that said this time
there is no urgency, so it's perfectly fine to wait for the next point
release on 2019-09-07.
