Hi,
After I sent my previous mail (appended here) I noted that there is another
change needed. I am referring to the latest file
tzdata2006d.tar.gz
The last two lines for the Sri Lanka time zone file Asia/Colombo
needs to be changed to
6:00 - LKT 2006 Apr 15 0:30
5:30 - LKT
as the time change was effective from April 15 0:30.
Thanks.
