How to import tzdata:
- Download the new version of tzdata: (Example: http://elsie.nci.nih.gov/tzdata2011e.tar.gz)
- Unpack the tarball in an empty directory. (For compatibility reasons, the tzdata tarball does not have a top-level directory.)
- Go to the top directory of a Tcl 8.5 sandbox, and utter the command:
tclsh8.5 tools/tclZIC.tcl /path/to/unpacked/tzdata library/tzdata
where /path/to/unpacked/tzdata is the path name of the directory you used at step 2. - Review the output for errors (there should be none).
- Do fossil extra, and do fossil add for any new locales that have appeared in library/tzdata.
- Do fossil status to find out what locales have new data. Write a log message in ChangeLog to describe the import.
- fossil commit your changes.
- As with any maintenance change, go to a trunk sandbox (or fossil update trunk), and do
fossil merge core-8-5-branch
- Resolve the inevitable merge conflict in ChangeLog and commit.
- fossil sync and you're done.
