Обсуждение: BUG #2798: Obsolete tiemzone data included

The following bug has been logged online:

Description:        Obsolete tiemzone data included
Details:

G'day folks,

This may not qualify as a "bug", but the timezone data included with the
8.2rc tarballs is out of date.  Will the (at-the-time-of-release) "current"
version be included with the 8.2 production version?

Ciao.

PS: Yes, I realise keeping timezone data up-to-date is
    an ongoing battle.

Post-rc1 we upgraded it again:

    date: 2006/11/28 19:37:03;  author: tgl;  state: Exp;  lines: +18 -8
    Update timezone data to tzdata2006p zic distribution.  It seems Western
    Australia decided to institute DST with one month's notice ... way to
    go, politicians.

We do not guarantee that we will always ship the most recent timezone
database version, however.

The  CVS head has been updated to the latest "tzdata2006p" version of
the timezone data, so it should be fixed in the next RC.
