Beginning this year, Ukraine is switching to year-round DST and will permanently reside in UTC+3 timezone (where it is now). Normally, the switch to UTC+2 would have occurred some time in October, but no longer.
How would Arch Linux handle it for the users who do not have NTP configured? Would Arch somehow know not to switch the clock this year or should zoneinfo file for Kiev be updated to reflect this change and to avoid users' clocks being skewed?
It looks like there's a fix to the tzdata package in the works to deal with this: https://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/... So presumably, once that fix gets released upstream, Arch would pick it up soon after. DR
