I've got several different flavors of Fedora Core running both at home and

that it links to files under /usr/share/zoneinfo but those don't look like
text files.  how do I edit those files and then compile them to make the
DST changes at the right time?

Or, is there another fix for this?  Is there a patch or updated RPM to
replace the files in /zoneinfo?

If you are keeping your system uptodate, you should have picked up the US
DST rule changes a long time ago.

Well, if you define a 'long time' as a year of so... I'm way too old to do that. But run a zdump on your timezone name to see if you have it. If you have a fedora version that hasn't had updates for a year I'm not sure if you can rebuild the current version's src rpm - or if you even have to rebuild it.
