Doubt Regarding DST Patches

[Thiyagu Venki]

Hello ,


The following steps are done by me  in RHEL 4 machine

1. I have downloaded Only

 tzdata2007a.tar.gz from ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/

2. And I compiled using zic as

 Example:

 zic -d zoneinfo/ northamerica -L leapseconds -y yearistype.sh

  where zoneinfo is my temporary directory

3. And replaced the files to /usr/share/zoneinfo directory

4. Deleted Existing /etc/localtime

4. Copied the new zoneinfo Timezone as

 cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles /etc/localtime

5. After the above execution I tested using

 zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007

 I found the result as Mar & Nov Correctly

please tell me that

 1. The above  timezonedata .. i.e. tzdata2007a.tar.gz is enough for to
update below listed OS
