Обсуждение: confirm timezone changes for new releases was Fwd: Re: [pgsql-slavestothewww] New News Entry (id: 1055)
I know that the fedora tzdata-2009a packages have the Argentian changes (as well as some others depending on version of fedora), but I'm not sure what is includedin the original package, or exactly where we pull our changes in from Note our release notes dont specify those changes, so I am inclined to think they aren't in there, but can someone confirm for our release announcement if 8.3.6 et al have Argentinian timezone updates? (Or any other updates we should mention) TIA Robert Treat ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: [pgsql-slavestothewww] New News Entry (id: 1055) Date: Thursday 05 February 2009 From: Guido Barosio <gbarosio@gmail.com> To: PostgreSQL Webmaster <www@wwwmaster.postgresql.org> <quote> .
