We have a in-house application that needs to convert local time to/from UTC for users around the globe and thus need to keep track of when DST begins/ends for each time zone.  We use ISO std. time zone conventions (ex. America/Los_Angeles, Australia/Melbourne etc).

This mailing list, and the regular database releases, is the best way
I know of keeping track.

If you are not using the database, a good overview to get started is:
