TOPIC: Howto adjust for a modified Daylight Savings Time



Daylight Savings Time Patches
YDL v5.0 and newer does not require a patch. For v3.x and v4.x, please follow the instructions herein.
  1. Download cvs.terraplex.com/~owen/tzdata-2007/RPMS/ (the yd3 package is for YDL 3.0.x, and the yd4 package is for YDL 4.x.x).

  2. Install the packages:
    rpm -Uvh tzdata-2006g-1.ydX.noarch.rpm [ENTER]
  3. Confirm the update was successful with the following command:
    /usr/sbin/zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007 [ENTER]
  4. If the output of zdump does not show DST starting on March 11:
    cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/ /etc/localtime [ENTER]
