Hello Petr Thank you for your answer. We do wait for RH packages then. Christophe, could you confirm this with RH ? I am surprise because actually RH makes also their package from icann tz database As to php, php can use its own timzonedb extension. Depending on the php version , we will need it or not (PHP52 for instance). Actually , we can not upgrade php (as it would required the complete revalidation of our complex products) and for some php versions (5.2.5 , 5.2.9, 5.2.13) , we do need the timezonedb.so made from Derick's PECL source pakage , which is also made from icann tz database also. This is why we need as soon as possible a release of icann tz database 2012c that would include morocco changes .

Sorry to disturb again but as you know Morocco have new DST rules and first change is scheduled on 25 March 15, 2012-03-15 Do you plan to release 2012c that takes into account these new rules for Morocco soon?
We really need them to get Red Hat publish new tzdata rpm and PHP Pecl to publish new timezone db extension from your official files And then we need to update more than 40 machines at one of our customers in Morocco
An update with the Morocco changes is in the making for Red Hat Enterprise Linux in particular. About the PHP extension, are you talking about "timezonedb"? They write that "you should only install this extension in case you need to get a later version of the timezone database than the one that ships with PHP". I believe that on Red Hat Enterprise Linux in particular, PHP is patched to use system-wide tzdata. If that is not the case, it would be worthy of a bug report. Of course, if you are using a different operating system, that may not apply to you. Thank you, PM
