This was mostly a question about why yum provided a tzdata that was for a 2006a rpm instead of the 2006g or later when I did the yum.
Again: Use the fasttrack repository for those updates. Why that wasn't released as a normal update from upstream is beyond my knowledge.
What is it you are missing? On CentOS 3.x boxes I have:
# rpm -q tzdata tzdata-2006a-2.EL3.1
And: zdump -v EST5EDT |grep 2007 EST5EDT Sun Mar 11 06:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000 EST5EDT Sun Mar 11 07:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400 EST5EDT Sun Nov 4 05:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:59:59 2007 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400 EST5EDT Sun Nov 4 06:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:00:00 2007 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000
As an odd coincidence, exactly a year ago today I extracted these settings from a Centos 4 box and the US change was already there.
