First a note that tzdata2009i.tar.gz does seem to do the expected thing
here on the mother system:
Script started on Mon Jun 15 06:34:58 2009
lecserver$ ./zdump -v Asia/Dhaka | grep 2009
Asia/Dhaka Fri Jun 19 17:59:59 2009 UTC = Fri Jun 19 23:59:59 2009 BDT isdst=0
Asia/Dhaka Fri Jun 19 18:00:00 2009 UTC = Sat Jun 20 01:00:00 2009 BDST isdst=1
lecserver$ exit
script done on Mon Jun 15 06:35:15 2009
However, given this morning's note about DST starting at 23:00...
Finally we've got the official mail regarding DST start time where DST
start time is mentioned as Jun 19 2009, 23:00 from BTRC (Bangladesh
Telecommunication Regulatory Commission).
No DST end date has been announced yet.
...and as a way to both simplify the change and avoid glitches, below
find a proposed change to the "asia" file. Feedback both on the
usefulness of the change and when to push it is welcome.
