Adjust Australian timezones for Commonwealth Games
Authored by: jtrott on Jan 25, '06 04:12:48AM
There isn't actually any information in the official zoneinfo files relating to Canberra, or the ACT. You could add it in if you like, search for
# New South Wales
in the australasia file. Scroll down until you see the following lines:
Zone Australia/Sydney	10:04:52 -	LMT	1895 Feb
			10:00	Aus	EST	1971
			10:00	AN	EST
Duplicate those lines so it looks like this:
Zone Australia/Sydney	10:04:52 -	LMT	1895 Feb
			10:00	Aus	EST	1971
			10:00	AN	EST
Zone Australia/Sydney	10:04:52 -	LMT	1895 Feb
			10:00	Aus	EST	1971
			10:00	AN	EST
Then edit the lines so it looks like this:
Zone Australia/Sydney	10:04:52 -	LMT	1895 Feb
			10:00	Aus	EST	1971
			10:00	AN	EST
Zone Australia/Canberra	10:04:52 -	LMT	1895 Feb
			10:00	Aus	EST	1971
			10:00	AN	EST
Then when you compile the australasia file it will update the timezone for Canberra. The same procedure can be used to update the ACT timezone as well.

Fixed in 10.4.5

This fix is no longer required as 10.4.5 includes updates for the timezone files.
