Because of the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne in Australia a number of states have decided to delay the switch from AEDST to AEST by a week. The zoneinfo file for at least Australia/Sydney (I'm assuming the others are the same) does not reflect this in x86 glibc. This page has links to the webpages for four states (NSW, Vic, SA, Tas) and one territory (ACT) affected by this change: http://www.australia.gov.au/335 This change is for 2006 only. My apologies if this update is part of an unstable glibc release that is about to be switched to stable. I don't think this will be useful, but here's my emerge --info anyway: Portage 2.0.54 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -fforce-addr -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -ftracer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /usr/share/vim /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -fforce-addr -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -ftracer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://mirror.isp.net.au/pub/gentoo ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X aac aalib acpi aim alsa apache2 apm audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts browserplugin bzip2 bzlib crypt cups curl curlwrappers dbus dio eds emboss encode ethereal evo exif expat fam fbcon ffmpeg foomaticdb freetds ftp gd gdbm gif glut gpgme gpm gstreamer gtk gtk+ gtk2 gtkhtml iconv icq idn imagemagick imap imlib innodb ipv6 irssi ithreads jabber java jpeg junit kdexdeltas kerberos krb4 lcms ldap lesstif libg++ libwww mad mbox mcal mhash mikmod mime mng mono motif mozilla mp3 mpeg msn mssql mysql mysqli ncurses nls nptl offensive ofx ogg oggvorbis openal opengl oscar oss pam pcntl pcre pdf pdflib perl php png pop posix ppds pthreads python qt quicktime readline real recode samba sasl sdl session shared sharedmem simplexml slang slp sndfile sockets spell spl sqlite sse sse2 ssl svg svga symlink sysvipc tcpd tetex theora threads tidy tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userlocales vorbis win32codecs wmf xine xml xml2 xmlrpc xpm xv xvid yahoo zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
(In reply to comment #0) > My apologies if this update is part of an unstable glibc release that is about > to be switched to stable. ~arch glibc depends on sys-libs/timezone-data to make such quick changes possible. You can install timezone-data with stable glibc as well (requires to set FEATURES="-collision-protect for the merge) if you really need it. Revbumping glibc for such changes is a no-go.

Thank you greatly. > Revbumping glibc for such changes is a no-go. Understood, and appreciate the help.
