Re: New tzdata packages address US Daylight Savings Time (DST) changes

Sorry for the cross post. But since some Opie users will be using
familiar and won't be subscribed to that list, I figured it would be
allowed just this once.

Rene's original mail to the familiar list for those just joining in:

The package tzdata_2007c-r0_arm.ipk will most likely have conflicting
files with Opie. We haven't had time to make it look like an upgrade for
the Opie packages that also contain these files. So it is probably OK to
use --force-overwrite to cause this package's zone files to overwrite
the Opie installed ones.

I have done this on my h3800 running familiar 0.8.2 and my h5550 running
familiar 0.8.4 and all seems well. I am crossing my fingers for Sunday
night. YMMV.
