Daylight Savings and Timezone updates

Hi,

In Australia some states have made changes to daylight savings in the last couple of years.

Daylight savings started in mine over the weekend but no change to the time on Meteohub.

I have restarted the NSLU2, so it seems to be old timzone data.

While I can copy a timezone file from another box, is there a proper way to fix this? Is it a Meteohub update or an update to the firmware?

Thanks
Hugo

If you find corrected files to be placed into "/opt/share/zoneinfo-posix/Australia" folder of your NSLU2, please let me know. I can make these part of the next update.

Meteohub on NSLU2 is based on SlugOS/BE 4.8, but I have not seen any timezone updates for this.

Ahh. I see. Ok, I have stolen these ones from the SlugOS/BE 5.3 install.

The attached file is the Australian updates.

[file name=zoneinfo_australia_200909.gz size=5901]http://www.meteohub.de/joomla/images/fb ... _200909.gz[/file]

/opt/share/zoneinfo-posix was a symbolic link to /usr/share/zoneinfo, so I did the update there.

The logs all appear to be in GMT, how does the timezoone affect the application & the graph generation?

Thanks.
Hugo
