Hi, I know Argentina has a long history of doing last minute changes about our timezones including inter-provincial anarchy. However, tzdata is easy enough to quickly adapt to this changes, and if you're somehow savvy, it is quite easy to fix things on your own. Last October, Argentina decided not to apply DST this (Southern) summer on the last minute and this was reflexed on tzdata2009p published on October 26th. Since Apple didn't immediately made this changes, knowing that OS X is actually running on top of some kind of BSD and actually finding zic and /usr/share/zoneinfo in it, I volunteered "fixing" a friend's macbook pro. I simply compiled the southamerica file from tzdata2009p and that was it... right? wrong! This actually made the mac go somehow crazy since it also uses some ICU files which I don't know how to handle. My friend ended up using Chile's time during the summer and Uruguay's time after Uruguay's DST period ended. Since a week ago the non-existent DST for Argentina would have ended, I told him to try again Argentina's time but it keeps being inconsistent. Another mac he has at home has now the correct time. Does anyone know how to restore the original OS X tzdata files without reinstalling the OS? I know nothing about its packaging system... Mac users seem to rely on "Apple update" service but I probably f##k'd it up when I overwrote some files under /usr/share/zoneinfo. Any help (or links to better places) will be greatly appreciated. -- Mariano Absatz - "El Baby" baby@baby.com.ar www.clueless.com.ar -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I haven't lost my mind, I have it backed up on tape somewhere. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- * TagZilla 0.066 * http://tagzilla.mozdev.org
