Bug#637664: pu: package tzdata/2011h-0squeeze1

September 02nd, 2011 - 09:30 am ET by Eugene Barbashin | Report spam

I don't think there is a real need to push to to -updates. Nobody
requested about this changes in lenny or squeeze, so I guess they are
not that important.

It's very important update for everyone using debian in Russia, so
please, consider to push it to -updates and include in oldstable.
Our law on this matter become effective next week (September, 7) and
all systems where patch will not be installed on October, 30 will have
incorrect time.

Also links in patch about changes for Russia isn't best, better ones will be:
http://kremlin.ru/news/11509 in Russian which contains links to full
text and scanned version of new law and
http://eng.kremlin.ru/news/2358 in English with just overall description

Assuming squeeze-updates, I'll have a look at that in the next day or
so.

Anyway for the current status, 2011h is in s-p-u, while sid has 2011j,
bringing DST changes for Samoa, New Foundland and creating a South
Soudan entry. 2011k is going to be released on September 26th, bringing
changes to Palestine and Belarus. So it looks like we can already upload
2011i for Lenny, and push 2011j to volatile just after. For Squeeze we
can go directly to 2011j.

2011k?

Can I already start with the upload to o-s-p-u or should I open a bug
for that?

Feel free to upload if you wish. fwiw, although uploads for 5.0.9
officially close over the weekend, I'd be minded to make an exception
for a tzdata upload if it could made as early in the week as reasonably
possible.

Regards,

Adam

Ok, thanks

2011k?

Yes, sorry

Ok, I have just uploaded 2011j to o-s-p-u for now. I will see if 2011k
is really released on Monday. It contains quite important changes, but
not urgent (they will be need for the 3rd week of October). There is
currently a lot of discussions on the upstream mailing list for the name
of the new timezone for West Russia, Belarus and Ukraine.

For squeeze, I'll wait to see how things are going upstream and will
upload either 2011j or 2011k depending on that.

Ok, thanks

In fact, I found a tuit and the SUA went out last night.
