Description Juan Manuel Docile 2008-10-07 01:53:26 UTC

sys-libs/timezone-data-2008 DST change for Argentina. 
Wrong time zone from Oct 5. (GMT -2)

Argentinian law N° 25.155 is no longer valid. 
http://www.infoleg.gov.ar/infolegInternet/anexos/60000-64999/60036/norma.htm
The new one is law N° 26.350
http://www.infoleg.gov.ar/infolegInternet/anexos/135000-139999/136191/norma.htm

So there is no summer time in Argentina for now.

I don't know where to inform this to update tzdata & tzcode

Thanks
