update database due to a change in Chilean timezone

[Victor Vargas]

Please, we need to update and port those updates to ubuntu 8.04 and newer versions due to an extension in our daylight saving time (CLT), the goverment has published this information at http://www.doe.cl/fsumarios/2012-03-03/z0301001.pdf and here http://www.horaoficial.cl/cambio.htm

Debian Unstable has accepted version 2012b-1 that should include those changes:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/t/tzdata/news/20120306T185044Z.html

This issue is related to http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2012-0356.html

Best regards,
Victor

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Gary Lasker (gary-lasker)]

Hey folks. I will try to prepare these updates tonight if I can. If I don't manage to get to it, pitti said he expects to be able to take care of this one tomorrow. Nevertheless, I just want everyone to know that this one is on our radar!

And thanks!!

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

Thanks Gary!

Wrong 2011n data:

America/Santiago Sun Mar 11 02:59:59 2012 UTC = Sat Mar 10 23:59:59 2012 CLST isdst=1 gmtoff=-10800
America/Santiago Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2012 UTC = Sat Mar 10 23:00:00 2012 CLT isdst=0 gmtoff=-14400
America/Santiago Sun Oct 14 03:59:59 2012 UTC = Sat Oct 13 23:59:59 2012 CLT isdst=0 gmtoff=-14400
America/Santiago Sun Oct 14 04:00:00 2012 UTC = Sun Oct 14 01:00:00 2012 CLST isdst=1 gmtoff=-10800

2012b corrects this to:

America/Santiago Sun Apr 29 02:59:59 2012 UTC = Sat Apr 28 23:59:59 2012 CLST isdst=1 gmtoff=-10800
America/Santiago Sun Apr 29 03:00:00 2012 UTC = Sat Apr 28 23:00:00 2012 CLT isdst=0 gmtoff=-14400
America/Santiago Sun Sep 2 03:59:59 2012 UTC = Sat Sep 1 23:59:59 2012 CLT isdst=0 gmtoff=-14400
America/Santiago Sun Sep 2 04:00:00 2012 UTC = Sun Sep 2 01:00:00 2012 CLST isdst=1 gmtoff=-10800

which coincides with http://www.horaoficial.cl/cambio.htm.
