confirm timezone changes for new releases was Fwd: Re: [pgsql-slavestothewww] New News Entry (id: 1055)
I know that the fedora tzdata-2009a packages have the Argentian changes (as
well as some others depending on version of fedora), but I'm not sure what is
includedin the original package, or exactly where we pull our changes in from
Note our release notes dont specify those changes, so I am inclined to think
they aren't in there, but can someone confirm for our release announcement if
8.3.6 et al have Argentinian timezone updates? (Or any other updates we
should mention) TIA

Isn't there a change for Argentina? Just asking because we had 2
changes during the last 6 months and I am not sure if we are handling
this properly.

The commit messages is:
Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2009a: introduces
Asia/Kathmandu as the preferred spelling of that zone name, corrects
historical DST information for Switzerland and Cuba.
We get our data files as mentioned in /pgtop/src/timezone/README:
ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata*.tar.gz

To better answer your specific question, I see Argentina timezone
changes added CVS for in 2008i:
revision 1.13
date: 2008/10/30 13:16:52; author: tgl; state: Exp; lines: +91 -16
Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2008i (DST law changes in
Argentina, Brazil, Mauritius, Syria).
Those changes would have been included in 8.3.5 released on 2008-11-03.

Also, our release notes do so specify the tzdata updates --- it's
usually the last item, see for instance
