FW: updated Olson DB for new end of Egypt DST
I'm forwarding this message on behalf of Amr Elmalah who is not on the time zone mailing list. Those of you who are on the list, please direct replies appropriately. --ado -----Original Message----- From: news [mailto:news@ger.gmane.org] On Behalf Of Amr Elmalah Sent: Monday, August 17, 2009 6:50 To: tz@lecserver.nci.nih.gov Subject: updated Olson DB for new end of Egypt DST Dear all, Is there is a new version of JAVA TZupdater with the modified Olson DB that has the new winter time change for Egypt (20 August). We need to update the JAVA with the new winter time. Any help?? Regards, Amr.
I've been having Fedora RPMs built for the timezone updates. One of them is tzdata-java, which installs Java ZI files directly in /usr/share/javazi (I think this is different than where TZUpdater puts its updates). Anyone is welcome to try them out, but do so at your own risk--neither I nor my employer take responsibility for them or any problems they may cause. http://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=ALL&p=1&q=tzdata-java -- Larry Gilbert <lgilbert@digium.com> Digium | Switchvox
Dear all,

The Java TZupdater appears to just be an archive with a set of timezone files inside. You should be able to unjar, unzip the timezone files, replace the timezone files with updated ones, rezip, rejar. I don't know if the updater performs consistency checks on the files inside. -- Darren
