Hi All,

I have a Red Hat Linux 8, RHL 9 and FC5 linux server. I want to update with day light savings patches. Is anybody guide me from where i can download and provide the steps for how to update in the server.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks
Manish

For FC5 an updated tzdata rpm package is available. For the others use the same rpm package but do not install it. Download and install the update.

rpm -Uvh tzdata.rpm

Do forget to restart all services on the FC5 server or simply reboot it.

After you are done then use the FC5 tzdata rpm with rpm2cpio to extract the contents of the rpm;

rpm2cpio < tzdata-2007c-1.fc5.noarch.rpm > tzdata.cpio
cpio -i -d < tzdata.cpio

Copy the extract /usr/share/zoneinfo files to the RHL8/9 /usr/share/zoneinfo directory and replace the current /etc/localtime files with the updated equivalent. Use the info in /etc/sysconfig/clock (FC5) to know which zoneinfo file to use.

Hi Lenard

As per you guide i installed the above rpm file in FC5 test server and it went through fine. But before transfered the file in to RHEL 8 and 9 my FC5 Harddisk got corrupted. Now i can not copy tzdata info from FC5.

I forgot to mentioned that I installed RHEL 8 and 9 in Pentium 4 pc. Now i want to update DST can you please let me know how can download and how i install the patch. I went to the site which you
provided above but i can not figure out which file i download and install for RHEL 8/9.

You download the file tzdata-2007c-1.fc5.noarch.rpm from the FC5 updates repository:

Follow the directions I already provided about using rpm2cpio and cpio to extract the rpm file, do not install the rpm package it will not work.
