Summer time for Brasil needed in tzdatabase
Greetings, According to this site: http://pcdsh01.on.br/DecHV.html http://pcdsh01.on.br/FusoBR_HVCorrente.htm
From the 2012-10-21 until 2013-02-17 the Brazilian Estates will be using summer time. For example: the zone America/Sao_Paulo in the tzdata2012g says -3:00 and should be -2:00. Thanks!

That is not the case. I acknowledge that the database format is not very intuitive to read, but it *is* correct. The Brazilian DST ("summer time" as we Brazilians call it) is correctly coded in tzdata. Any system using a recent enough tzdata and the America/Sao_Paulo timezone will be displaying the correct time (i.e. UTC-2 during the DST). The only problem right now is with America/Bahia and America/Araguaina, since Bahia is not having DST anymore and Tocantins joined DST this year. I sent a patch a couple days ago about this, and it should be fixed in the next tzdata release. -- Antonio Terceiro <terceiro@softwarelivre.org> http://softwarelivre.org/terceiro
