Bug Description
Binary package hint: tzdata
Argentinian congress voted on 26/Dec/2007 in favour of changing the timezone from
GMT-3 to GMT-2 for the summer this year.
The timezone change will take place on 30/Dec/2007 (yeah, I know it sucks) at 0 hour,
and apparently we will go back to -3 on 16/Mar/2008 at 0 hour or 23 hour (we can't
find reliable information on this yet).
The official text will be published tomorrow morning, but the change has been
announced everywhere already, as it is part of a much publicized set of laws regarding
the energetic situation of the country.
Most sysadmins will want to do the change tomorrow because it will be the last
working day until 2/Jan/2008.
There is a patch and an ongoing dicussion to address this in Debian by patching
tzdata.
You can find the Debian bug report at
http://
If you need any additional information, please let me know.
Thanks,
Alberto
