681907 – tzdata updates needed for changes in Chile's DST

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Petr Machata 2011-03-03 15:05:22 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #681594 +++

Description of problem:

The government of Chile has announced that they will extend their summertime an additional three weeks.

Summertime was supposed to end on the 12th of March (2011):

On the 24:00 hours of Saturday 12 of March 2011, time goes back one hour, that means, 23:00 hours. (Is left as UTC - 04).

This hasn't been updated on the official website (http://www.horaoficial.cl/cambio.htm), although the announcement was official. We should double-check this.

Steps to Reproduce:

# zdump -v -c 2010,2012 America/Santiago


Actual results:

America/Santiago  -9223372036854775808 = NULL
America/Santiago  -9223372036854689408 = NULL
America/Santiago  Sun Apr  4 02:59:59 2010 UTC = Sat Apr  3 23:59:59 2010 CLST isdst=1 gmtoff=-10800
America/Santiago  Sun Apr  4 03:00:00 2010 UTC = Sat Apr  3 23:00:00 2010 CLT isdst=0 gmtoff=-14400

America/Santiago  Sun Mar 13 03:00:00 2011 UTC = Sat Mar 12 23:00:00 2011 CLT isdst=0 gmtoff=-14400
America/Santiago  Sun Oct  9 03:59:59 2011 UTC = Sat Oct  8 23:59:59 2011 CLT isdst=0 gmtoff=-14400
America/Santiago  Sun Oct  9 04:00:00 2011 UTC = Sun Oct  9 01:00:00 2011 CLST isdst=1 gmtoff=-10800
America/Santiago  9223372036854689407 = NULL
America/Santiago  9223372036854775807 = NULL
[root@redhat ~]# 


Expected results:

If the announcement is indeed official, the change should take place on Apr 2 instead of Mar 12.
