Description Surakshan Mendis 2006-04-13 19:15:28 UTC

On 14th April Sri Lanka (country) are moving their clocks back by half and hour. Their time zone will then be UTC +5.5 rather than the +6

Redhat have a fix for this, though I'm not sure what we can use from this link:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=188025

Timeanddate.com show the updated zone and time:
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/results.html?query=colombo

A fix would be greatly appriciated!

for future reference, we do not patch timezone data

if something is incorrect, then you should be contacting:
tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov

this has been fixed in a newer version, we just havent added it to portage yet
