Revision history [back]

It's august 2016 already, and tzdata in Sailfish 2.0.1.11 is still version 2014h. Hope it will be updated in the upcomming release, as it's cousing troubles with devices and services that have correct timezones — all timestamps are shifted and it's not very nice to be late by an hour.

Not sure it's a good workaround, but works for me:
1. Download tzdata-2016f rpm from CentOS
$ curl http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/updates/i386/Packages/tzdata-2016f-1.el6.noarch.rpm -o tzdata-2016f-1.el6.noarch.rpm
2. Install via rpm
$ devel-su rpm -if tzdata-2016f-1.el6.noarch.rpm

It is a noarch package and will only overwrite files in /usr/share/zoneinfo and corresponding /usr/share/doc/tzdata*.

There's also package called tzdata-timed, that is also version 2014h-1.6.2.

It is a noarch package and will only overwrite files in /usr/share/zoneinfo and corresponding /usr/share/doc/tzdata*./usr/share/doc/tzdata*. As for tzdata-timed, I could not find it in CentOS, RHEL or Fedora, so not sure how to update it.
