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.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #838120 +++

Fedora delivers version 0.70 which is too old.

For example it does not implement 2012-07 leap second which has been added by upstream in version 0.71 on 2012-01-05. It can result in faulty time arithmetics now.

It's shame Fedora does not deliver current version of such impotant package demanding regular updates. Upstream changelog:

0.76   2012-07-01

- The DateTime->subtract method ignored the end_of_month parameter. Patch by
  Chris Reinhardt. RT #77844.


0.75   2012-06-11

- The epoch for years 1-999 was broken because Time::Local is "clever". A pox
  on all clever APIs, I say! Reported by Christian Hansen. RT #77719.

- Shut up compilation warning from 5.17.x. Reported by Tom Wyant. RT #77490.


0.74   2012-03-22

- Small packaging fix for metacpan's benefit. No need to upgrade.


0.73   2012-03-17

- Change tests to work with Zefram's entirely rebuilt DateTime::TimeZone
  distribution, which will replace the current implementation. Patch by
  Zefram. RT #75757.


0.72   2012-01-05

- Remove Test::DependentModules from the dep list. This is used by some
  author-only tests. Reported by Zefram.


0.71   2012-01-05

- There will be a new leap second on June 30, 2012.

And Petr, how about cloning this for RHEL? It's an even bigger shame that Red Hat delivers an even more outdated version of this package (and more importantly, DateTime::TimeZone) demanding regular updates.
