Does FC4 have the updated locale files that reflect the change in summer time start/end for 2007; if not, what files do I need to copy from FC6 to FC4, to fix that?
I'm not sure what FC4 has, but it may be old enough not to have the upcoming 2007 USA changes. For updating manually without RPM or yum... If you have an FC6 system around, you can always just copy the zoneinfo files. The files are platform independent. Grab everything under /usr/share/zoneinfo from the new system and overlay it on top of the old one. If you only care about one particular time zone, say "America/New_York", then you just need to copy that one file, e.g. /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York Or you can always grab the latest zoneinfo files from the original upstream source and install them. Homepage is http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm Basically run the commands... mkdir /tmp/tzdata cd /tmp/tzdata wget ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2006p.tar.gz gunzip -tzf tzdata2006p.tar.gz cp *.tab /usr/share/zoneinfo/ zic -d /use/share/zoneinfo -L leapseconds northamerica You can also run the last "zic" command on the other continent definition files as well if you want; or in one single command: zic -d /usr/share/zoneinfo -L leapseconds [abefnps]* Also double check the file permissions when done. Perhaps a: chown -R root:root /usr/share/zoneinfo chmod -R go-w /usr/share/zoneinfo/ -- Deron Meranda -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
