Subject: Changing timezone info for FreeBSD

Dear Sirs,

I'm one of network administrators of Internet service provider ElCat
(http://www.elcat.kg/). We are place in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

We use FreeBSD 4.10 and 5.4 and we need to update time zone file for our
country.

Our government cancels daylight saving time 6th of August 2005.
Our GMT-offset is +5 and there was two daylight offsets as described in
/usr/src/share/zoneinfo/asia:

# Kyrgyzstan (Kirgizstan)
# Transitions through 1991 are from Shanks.
# Rule  NAME    FROM    TO      TYPE    IN      ON      AT      SAVE

Now our GMT-offset is +6 and it will not be changed in future.

Unfortunately I didn't find any official documents published in Internet in
English.

Is it possible to update our timezone rules in /usr/src/share/zoneinfo/asia?

Thank you.
Malik Abdugaliev.
