• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Robson Paniago 2004-10-21 07:51:40 UTC]

In Brazil, this year, the DST will be starting at Nov 2 2004, and will finish in Feb 20 2005. 
Using the current rules, the system entered in DST Oct 17.

The following lines must be added to file timezone/southamerica:
Rule    Brazil  2004    only    -       Nov     2       00:00   1       S
Rule    Brazil  2005    only    -       Feb     20      00:00   0       -

and the rule
Rule    Brazil  2003    max     -       Oct     Sun>=15  0:00   1:00    S
must be changed to
Rule    Brazil  2003    only    -       Oct     Sun>=15  0:00   1:00    S

There is no need to add the line
Rule    Brazil  2005    only    -       Feb     20      00:00   0       -

since the line with "to=MAX" in 2001 will do the correct thing in the end of dayligth savings time.
