Description
I noticed that we were behind on tzdata, so this updates it to the latest version of this data.

To test this, I first manually verified that the primary changes to actual zones -- Australia/Hobart and Australia/Currie both still worked when manually specifying them via the TZ environment variable. Next, I wrote the following small program that uses libzoneinfo:
#include <stdio.h> #include <libzoneinfo.h> #include <err.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(void) { int i, nconts; struct tz_continent *cont, *ocont; nconts = get_tz_continents(&cont); if (nconts < 0) { err(EXIT_FAILURE, "failed to get contintent"); } ocont = cont; for (i = 0; cont != NULL && i < nconts; i++, cont = cont->ctnt_next) { int ncountries, c; struct tz_country *country, *ocountry; (void) printf("%s\n", cont->ctnt_name); ncountries = get_tz_countries(&country, cont); if (ncountries < 0) { err(EXIT_FAILURE, "failed to get countries" ); } ocountry = country; for (c = 0; country != NULL && c < ncountries; c++, country = country->ctry_next) { int ntzs, t; struct tz_timezone *tz, *otz; (void) printf("\t%s\n", country->ctry_id_desc); ntzs = get_timezones_by_country(&tz, country); otz = tz; if (ntzs < 0) { err(EXIT_FAILURE, "failed to get timezones"); } for (t = 0; tz != NULL && t < ntzs; t++, tz = tz->tz_next) { (void) printf("\t\t\t%s\n", tz->tz_name); } free_timezones(otz); } free_tz_countries(ocountry); } free_tz_continents(ocont); }
This basically dumps which TZs are associated with each country and continent. I found that the set of data was identical before and after which matches what we expect as this upgrade didn't add or remove any zones.
