Synopsis:	Low: tzdata enhancement update

Issue date:	2011-03-11

CVE Names:	



This updated package addresses the following changes to Daylight Saving 

Time (DST) observations:



* Kemerovo Oblast, Russia, incorrectly used the NOVT abbreviation, which 

is UTC+7. With this update, it uses the OMST/OMSST abbreviation and is 

correctly assigned the UTC+6 time zone. (BZ#596800)



* Previously, Chile was supposed to switch to the standard time at the 

end of March 12, 2011. With this update the daylight saving time is 

retained for additional three weeks and the system switches to the 

standard time at the end of April 2, 2011. (BZ#681907, BZ#681908, 

BZ#681594, BZ#681914)



* New zone America/Metlakatla was added to represent time of Metlakatla 

Indian Community.



* Mercer County, North Dakota, USA, changed from the Mountain Time Zone 

to the Central Time Zone. A zone named America/North_Dakota/Beulah was 

created to hold the relevant data.
