Hello tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov, Dear sir! I've posted on bugzilla new bug #172279, and they told me to contact you: You need to discuss this with upstream, i.e. tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov When upstream accepts a change and incorporates it, we'll then update our packages. But as a rule for tzdata we use the timezone data unmodified from upstream. Description of problem: It's not actually a BUG. Government of Georgia (ExUSSR, Caucasia, capital city Tbilisi) decided to NOT CHANGE daylight sayvings time at 30 Sep. night, as it was done before during last more than 10 years. Currently, we are in fact GMT +4:00, as before 30 October it was GMT +3:00. Currently http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_GE.aspx shows correct time for us. The problem is, there is NO FORMAL LAW or governmental document about it. A sfar as I can find, I was told, that there is no document, because we just DIDN'T ISSUE document about swithching to winter time".... I don't know waht can be done, especially knowing, that some years ago our DST rules where changed THREE TIMES during one month... Maybe it's stupid, but maybe it's possible to create TWO separate time zones for Georgia, one with DST settings, one withought? I could't find a way to disable DST in Linux otherwise... BTW, of course it's not related to Fedora Core or any particular distribution, this problem shoul be common for all of them... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Set timezone to Asia/Georgia 2. 3. Actual Results: #date Wed Nov 2 14:56:44 GET 2005 # Expected Results: #date Wed Nov 2 15:56:44 GET 2005 # Best regards, Teimuraz Abashidze Enterprise Network Manager Information Technologies Geocell Ltd.
