New Zealand daylight savings

[Jeffrey Simpson]

Binary package hint: tzdata

New Zealand has changed the time that daylight savings starts, with it now beginning a week earlier and ending two weeks later (http://www.dia.govt.nz/diawebsite.nsf/wpg_URL/Services-Daylight-Saving-Daylight-saving-to-be-extended?OpenDocument)
"Daylight saving for 2007-08 will start at 2am on 30 September 2007 and end at 3am on 6 April 2008."

Running the command
sudo zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007

Gives the output
/etc/localtime Sat Mar 17 13:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 18 02:59:59 2007 NZDT isdst=1 gmtoff=46800
/etc/localtime Sat Mar 17 14:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 18 02:00:00 2007 NZST isdst=0 gmtoff=43200
/etc/localtime Sat Oct 6 13:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Oct 7 01:59:59 2007 NZST isdst=0 gmtoff=43200
/etc/localtime Sat Oct 6 14:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Oct 7 03:00:00 2007 NZDT isdst=1 gmtoff=46800

I am running 2007f-3ubuntu1 of tzdata.

This has been fixed in the last round of tzdata updates already.
