Description Alexandre Oliva 2007-09-28 18:58:47 UTC 
A decree that defines the DST rules for 2007/2008 Summer in Southern Brazil was
published two days ago.  The rules from last year unfortunately are off by a
couple of weeks.  This affects all active distros, and there are only two weeks
left before the effects become visible.

Paul Eggert posted a patch including this fix yesterday:

Additional info:
Comment 1 Petr Machata 2007-09-29 20:05:26 UTC 
Thanks for heads up.  I will release new tzdata next week.
Comment 2 Petr Machata 2007-10-03 20:36:53 UTC 
Rawhide already has this tzdata, and it's been just pushed for F 7.  It's on the
way for FC 6.
Comment 3 Alexandre Oliva 2007-10-03 20:44:03 UTC 
Rawhide has 2007g, which is still out of date.  Something newer is needed to fix
the problem.
Comment 4 Petr Machata 2007-10-03 21:19:17 UTC 
Today's rawhide report:

tzdata-2007h-1.fc8
------------------
* Mon Oct 01 2007 Petr Machata <pmachata> - 2007h-1
- Upstream 2007h
  - Brazil will observe DST from 2007-10-14 to 2008-02-17
  - Egypt and Gaza switched earlier than we expected
  - Iran will resume DST next year
  - Venezuela is scheduled to change TZ to -4:30 on January 1

It probably just takes a bit of a time before it's reflected at the mirror near
you, or Fedora servers.
