Hello All,
I am just looking to get a patch for the recent change in DST time
settings in Australia. Can somebody help me over it. Its great if I
can get a patch for linux 7.3, as my application is runnig on that.

What is Linux 7.3? There is no such animal.

Anywayftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/
and get the latest tzdata*.tar.gz
Untar it, compile the austral-asia file with zic and install you timezone
to /etc/localtime

Please refer this URL for more details on the recent changes in DST
settings in Australia:

Thanks in advance,

Thanks a lot for the info. I downoaded the latest tzdata and compiled
using zic and replaced the zoneinfo. But now, the DST settings for
Australia starts correctly ( moves one hour ahead from 2:00 to 3:00),
but it is not ending at first sunday in april. Once the time reaches
2:00 AM, it continues to go 2:01, rather than reseting the clock to
1:00 AM. Any help would be highly appriciated.

Looking at the file, Australia changes its times at 2:00 Standard time.
Ie, the change back occurs at 3:00 DST which drops back to 2:00 standard
time, not at 2:00 DST dropping back to 1:00 standard time.

Anyway use zdump to find out when the times change in a give timezone file.




Thanks,
Prabhu
