Synopsis: Low: tzdata enhancement update
Issue date: 2012-11-26

This update adds the following enhancements:

* On October 24 2012, the Jordanian Cabinet rescinded a 2012-10-14
instruction to switch from daylight saving time (DST) to standard time on
2012-10-26. Instead, Jordan will remain on local DST (ITC +3) for the
2012-2013 Jordanian winter.

* Cuba, which was scheduled to move back to standard time on 2012-11-12,
switched to standard time on 2012-11-04.

* In Brazil, the North Region state, Tocantins, will observe DST in
2012-2013. This is the first time Tocantins has observed DST since 2003. By
contrast, Bahia, a Northeast Region state, will not observe DST in
2012-2013. Like Tocantins, Bahia stopped observing DST in 2003. Bahia
re-introduced DST on October 16 2011. On October 17 2012, however, Bahia
Governor, Jaques Wagner, announced DST would not be observed in 2012,
citing public surveys showing most Bahia residents were opposed to it.

* Israel has new DST rules as of 2013. DST now starts at 02:00 on the
Friday before the last Sunday in March. DST now ends at 02:00 on the first
Sunday after October 1, unless this day is also the second day of (Rosh
Hashanah). In this case, DST ends a day later, at 02:00 on the first Monday
after October 2.

* The Palestinian territories, which were scheduled to move back to
standard time on 2012-09-28, switched to standard time on 2012-09-21.

* Although Western Samoa has observed DST for two consecutive seasons
(2010-2011 and 2011-2012), there is no official indication of DST
continuing according to a set pattern for the foreseeable future. On
2012-09-04, the Samoan Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Labour announced
Samoa would observe DST from Sunday, 2012-09-30 until Sunday 2012-04-07.

This update has been placed in the security tree to avoid timezone related
problems such as ntp sync errors.
