I already know how to use yum. Please respond to what I wrote
rather than to what you read.

you sure ask a lot of questions...
'updates-released' is checked against the local cache and new updates
are thus recognized and downloaded if/when appropriate. Of course, if
you knew how yum worked, you would know that.
As for how and when updates are released, that of course is up to the
packagers.
Craig
How does one get through to you? I ALREADY KNOW HOW TO USE YUM. I KNOW
HOW IT WORKS. READ WHAT I WROTE.
You again responded to what you read rather than what I asked.
Is English your first/primary language?
The purpose of my questions is to point out that the fellow wanted to
know how to update the files *HIMSELF* and the only responses he's
getting are from people like you who cannot/will not respond to the
question AS ASKED.
The answer to my question, AS ASKED, is "It is impossible for your
machine automatically to change the configuration files by itself
when your local government passes a new ordinance."
And the answer to the OP's question is so far not yet given.
Mike
Ah yes, the illiterate grasshopper calling the Masters illiterate. Such
fascinating projection here. It's a wonderful psychological case study.
Indeed? And you are qualified?
I was not the original poster.
My questions were rhetorical.
The OP asked what the format of the files was so he could edit them
for himself.
I was making the point that the OP's question had not been asked.
1) You were told what file needed to be changed.
Hmm? I didn't ask that question.
2) You were told how it was changed by those who will do the changing.
But that wasn't the question.
3) You were reminded that your machine DOES automatically update if you
tell it to. It also updates when you do it manually. This update
process WILL include the new time zone files as needed.
I'm not the one having a problem with DST changes.
Were you REALLY too dense to put this all together or are you trying
to be an imbecilic troll?
Neither. I was using what is technically known as a "figure of speech".

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
