The "CET" time zone has vanished between Debian 12 and 13.

For good reasons. This is not a time zone but a time zone abbreviation. We should use "Europe/Paris" instead.

Now we have a crisis meeting because it's a major breaking change that can't be fixed because nobody knows how to set the time zone to a different value in the application 🤦‍♂️

Do I even want to know what the difference between these two timezones is?

Central European Time (Europe/Amsterdam)
Central European Time (Europe/Berlin)

This "deprecation" was never visible at any level, there's no discovery path for anyone that found or otherwise used these and stuck with it.

But none of that matters: The most recent Debian 12 installer still unavoidably selects US/Pacific for people living there, today.

If you're running Debian 12 and Postgres, you're in or around the Americas, and you're planning on upgrading to Debian 13, you might hit a fun little snag [..]

Timezone definition update for smartwatches rolls out

Recently, the timezone definition for smartwatches running Wear OS based on Android has been updated to support the latest changes made to some of the timezones. According to the IANA timezone database that Android uses, your smartwatch gets the latest timezone information from such database that uses the official timezone definitions according to your country’s government.

Some countries have ceased using summer time, and some others still use the summer time. The database reflects all the changes to the timezones according to each city in each country.

Now, people have started getting the timezone definition update through a small notification saying that their watch has been updated to use the latest timezone definitions and to reboot it to finalize the update. This was the notification:

In order to update the timezone definitions, restart your watch using the Restart now button found in the notification. If you have dismissed the notification, the next time you restart your watch, the timezone definition update will be installed. The update will be installed instantly and in no time, unlike major software updates, such as the upcoming One UI 7 Watch (or is it One UI 6.5 Watch?).

بستهٔ #tzdata در دبیان پیش‌تر از پروندهٔ ‪/etc/timezone‬ برای پیکربندی ناحیهٔ زمانی سامانه استفاده می‌کرد که به دست systemd و برخی میزکارها که فقط پیوند نمادین ‪/etc/localtime‬ را به پرونده‌ای در /usr/share/zoneinfo/ اشاره می‌دهند پشتیبانی نمی‌شود.

از این رو در نگارش 2024b-5 دیگر این پرونده را نساخته و فقط در صورت وجود به‌روزش می‌کند. پشتیبانی از این پرونده در آینده به کلّی حذف خواهد شد.

پیکربندی ناحیهٔ زمانی می‌تواند از طریق دستور dpkg-reconfigure tzdata به صورت تعاملی با debconf انجام شود.

روش خواندن یا پیکربندی ناحیهٔ زمانی سامانه در برنامه‌ها در این پرونده شرح داده شده:

Anyone happen to know if it's possible to get the historical offsets and DST information for all timezones from #Intl? Basically this info, but from the browser's #TZData: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rxaviers/iana-tz-data/master/iana-tz-data.json

W dzisiejszym wpisie z cyklu Porady Admina zapoznamy się z programem tzdata https://linuxiarze.pl/porady-admina-tzdata/ #linux #tzdata

@dichotomiker meine Lieblings-Zeitzone bleibt "Büsingen am Hochrhein" - eine deutsche Exklave in der Schweiz, die 1980 eine andere Sommerzeitregelung als die BRD hatte (und der Schweizer Zeit folgte)

Eine Stunde in einem halben Jahr unterschiedlich zum Rest des Landes. Aber wir werden den Eintrag in #tzdata ewig brauchen, weil irgendwer könnte ja mal wissen wollen wie viele Sekunden zwischen "jetzt" und "12. Juli 1980 22:15 in Büsingen" liegen.

This morning in #Mexico many #Android phones will be confusing people by showing the wrong #time. We no longer have #DST, but updating the #tzdata timezone database on most older devices is almost impossible.

Don't worry, just buy a new device. It's easy, Just throw all that silly old #lithium, #manganese, #tellurium, #tungsten and #cobalt in the landfill.
And all for a locked #bootloader.

An example of 💩 gle and the phone manufacturing industry being #evil.

#ANNOYED - by google.

The #tzdata package has the most useful errata page ever. November 3rd changes include:

• Mexico will stop observing daylight saving time (DST) except near the border with the United Stated of America.
• Chihuahua moved to the time offset of -06:00 from the coordinated universal time (UTC) permanently starting on October 30 2022.
• Fiji no longer observes daylight saving time (DST).

How to check what time is in a named timezone.
