Description Rodrigo Campos 2009-10-16 16:28:28 UTC
It was decided today that Argentina will not change to DST this sunday 2009-10-18,
so sys-libs/timezone-data requires an update.

News reports about it (in spanish):

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. date --date="+3days"

Actual Results:  
The time is changed

Expected Results:  
The time should not be changed

There's a similar report in debian:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=551195

In the patch there are some debian-specific files but there is also the "southamerica" file so you can use that, I guess.

Looks to me like it should be fixed upstream, but anyway, here's the Debian patch:
