I understand that no one is making updates for 7.2 anymore, so I was
wondering if I can adapt the one for 7.3. The timezone rules are part of
the glibc packages. Do I really need the new version of glibc, or can I
simply copy the /usr/share/zoneinfo files from the updated 7.3 packages
onto 7.2? In other words, do the new zoneinfo files require the new glibc
to work properly?
I don't believe so. In future releases, tzdata was separate from glibc so
that one didn't have to do a glibc update to get new zone info, which seems
to change on a month to month basis (looking at the world view).
Couldn't you just take a correctly setup and updated 7.3 system's
/etc/localtime file and copy it to the 7.2's etc directory? I wonder if
there are any formating changes of the localtime file that would cause
problems between glibc versions. I would think that format is set in
stone by now.
