Details

An updated tzdata package that adds daylight savings rule enhancements for
various countries is now available.

The tzdata package contains data files with rules for various timezones
around the world.

This update adjusts timezone files for USA, Australia, Haiti, Nicaragua,
Kazakhstan, Tunisia, and Uruguay where daylight savings rules have recently
changed or are going to change in the near future. This update
provides corrections for daylight saving rules for Iran, historical rules
corrections for Japan, Poland, Northern Ireland and Mali and timezone name
change for East Timor.

RPMs being upgraded on your system.
