Hi guys, I've *always* seen the Australian Eastern (Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania, Queensland) states' timezones referred to as AEST - Australian Eastern Standard Time. The TZ package, however, refers to it as EST, which not only confuses everyone, but also confuses things like date[1] command. I believe AEST is the official name, and it makes life easier. Ben - the patch for Debian is attached. Timezone guys - ignore all the script stuff before the actual diff, and please apply the diff itself for the next upstream release. Thanks :) d [1]: Just try telling date "EST" in a format, when meaning the Australian one. -- Daniel Stone <daniel@sfarc.net> <Nuke> "can NE1 help me aim nuclear weaponz????? /MSG ME!!"
