Description Andy Crook 2011-10-20 09:56:17 UTC 
there's change in Belarus' timezone that needs to be stabilized - only 1,5 weeks left:
# Belarus
# From Yauhen Kharuzhy (2011-09-16):
# By latest Belarus government act Europe/Minsk timezone was changed to
# GMT+3 without DST (was GMT+2 with DST).

Reproducible: Always

Actually, now we need 2011m as soon as possible and it is critical. Time in Ukraine/Kyiv does not show up properly as of today. The system thinks that Ukraine is not switching back to Winter time and sticking to DST all-year-round. Could be an issue for users in Ukraine.
Comment 2 Ihar Hrachyshka 2011-10-30 12:24:41 UTC 
Belarus timezone is now incorrect starting from today. Please stabilize newer package ASAP.
Comment 3 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-10-30 17:52:57 UTC 
Marked 2011l stable.  If you need a version bump file a bug for one.
Comment 5 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-11-01 04:18:19 UTC 
When did we stop doing arch testing/stabilising, particularly for packages that actually compile stuff for different platforms?
Comment 6 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-11-01 05:44:49 UTC 
Since the only changes from prev versions are in the data, the stabilization is extremely time-sensitive, and we have an exception?  Did I break something or did you just feel like complaining?
Comment 7 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-11-01 09:36:26 UTC 
I'll gladly make an exception for timezone-data, as the source code, last I checked, only changes once an year or so, but the description data is, as Ryan puts it, "extremely time-sensitive".

My real question is why is this package under toolchain rather than base-system (and I'm _not_ complaining about Ryan's choice).
Comment 8 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2011-11-01 14:51:30 UTC 
timezone-data was forked from the C library, and glibc is the largest (only?) consumer on the system, so toolchain makes sense
