Bug 227884

Created attachment 147693 [details]
libgcj patch for DST timezone changes

That patch was against trunk and, furthermore, isn't the latest.
There is a newer patch against trunk at
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-02/msg00800.html
which I'm going to backport.
Apparently there are several bugs in the TimeZone code, but those need a lot
of work and aren't appropriate for the update now, so guess just the updated
tables should be enough for RHEL4.5.

Simple testcase for QA purposes:

cat > RHBZ227884.java <<\EOF
import java.util.*;

final class RHBZ227884
{
  private static void test (TimeZone t)
  {
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance (t);
    int errors = 0;
    cal.set (Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
    cal.set (2007, Calendar.MARCH, 11, 1, 59, 59);
    if (cal.get(Calendar.DST_OFFSET) != 0
        || cal.get(Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET) != -5 * 3600000)
      errors |= 1;
    cal.set (2007, Calendar.MARCH, 11, 3, 00, 00);
    if (cal.get(Calendar.DST_OFFSET) != 3600000
        || cal.get(Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET) != -5 * 3600000)
      errors |= 2;
    cal.set (2007, Calendar.APRIL, 25, 3, 00, 00);
    if (cal.get(Calendar.DST_OFFSET) != 3600000
        || cal.get(Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET) != -5 * 3600000)
      errors |= 4;
    cal.set (2007, Calendar.NOVEMBER, 4, 0, 59, 59);
    if (cal.get(Calendar.DST_OFFSET) != 3600000
        || cal.get(Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET) != -5 * 3600000)
      errors |= 8;
    cal.set (2007, Calendar.NOVEMBER, 4, 2, 00, 00);
    if (cal.get(Calendar.DST_OFFSET) != 0
        || cal.get(Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET) != -5 * 3600000)
      errors |= 16;
    if (errors > 0)
      System.out.println ("FAIL: error bitmask " + errors);
    else
      System.out.println ("PASS: no errors were found");
  }
  public static void main (String[]args)
  {
    test (TimeZone.getTimeZone ("America/New_York"));
    TimeZone t = new SimpleTimeZone (-5000 * 3600, "EST",
                                     Calendar.MARCH, 2, Calendar.SUNDAY,
                                     2000 * 3600,
                                     Calendar.NOVEMBER, 1, Calendar.SUNDAY,
                                     2000 * 3600);
    test (t);
  }
}
EOF
gcj -C RHBZ227884.java
gij RHBZ227884
should print:
PASS: no errors were found
PASS: no errors were found
while with non-fixed libgcj it prints:
FAIL: error bitmask 10
PASS: no errors were found

In gcc-3.4.6-7.

What am I missing?

Is there a way to download these 15 packages in bulk, or do I have to search for
each one manually in the simple package search one at a time for every architecture?

disregard. I see they have been added to up2date. Apologies.
