Yesterday, the Parliament of Western Australia passed legislation to introduce Daylight Savings for a 3 year trial period, commencing on 3rd December 2006. The lack of notice is quite unfortunate.

It would be nice if this change could be applied to FreeBSB in time for the start (including FreeBSD 6.2).

Did you submit it to Arthur David Olson <ado@elsie.nci.nih.gov> for inclusion into the next tzdata version? We're tracking it, and it would be easier to just import a new version when it gets updated. I've just checked the latest version, tzdata2006o, and it doesn't include this change yet.

The patch I submitted yesterday had a fairly silly error in it - I got the DST commencement range wrong. Attached is a corrected patch. Mea culpa. -- Peter Jeremy
