[Zope-dev] Serious zope 2.x DST issue

[William Heymann]

I recently file this bug http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/2290 however an 
error seems to have kept email notifications from being sent out. The issue 
is that DateTimeZone.py has the wrong changeover points for DST for the USA 
in it. This is used for all the DateTime zone conversions in DateTime so this 
is a fairly critical issue. A new version of this file though can probably be 
used by nearly all the zope 2.x versions out there so once fixed it should be 
an easy patch. I just didn't want to change the numbers directly since I had 
hoped there was some automated tool that generated that file so I did not 
screw things up trying to modify it directly.

Thanks
