Bug#303920: libc6: Nicaragua introduces DST at 12:00pm 09/04/2005

[jorge-time at magma.com.ni]

Hello!

I made up a patch for zoneinfo/America/Managua, which we are using by
now.

You can find it at:

http://www.magma.com.ni/sw/time/

It is based on adding the following two entries in
/glibc-2.3.2/timezone/northamerica:


                        -6:00   -       CST     2005 Apr 10 00:00
                        -6:00   Nic     C%sT

I have seen however problems with php too, as well as I suspect that
java maintains it's own timezoneinfo.

Also, I still have no further notice by now, when the timezone-change
will end.

Best Regards,

     Jorge-León

P.S.: please apologize for beeing terse and replying late.  I *will* try
to keep track of this issue and keep you informed.  Please identify to
whom to report.
