Hi. Not sure if this is the correct forum.

How do I notify the maintainers of Kubuntu or Ubuntu that an update of tzdata is speedily required? The local time law has been changed twice this year. The original date for going back to winter time was September 8th, then it was changed to October 6th, and then to October 27th.

In Kubuntu 13.04 it's up to the first amendment of the law:

$ zdump -v Asia/Jerusalem | grep 2013
Asia/Jerusalem  Thu Mar 28 23:59:59 2013 UTC = Fri Mar 29 01:59:59 2013 IST isdst=0 gmtoff=7200
Asia/Jerusalem  Fri Mar 29 00:00:00 2013 UTC = Fri Mar 29 03:00:00 2013 IDT isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
Asia/Jerusalem  Sat Oct  5 22:59:59 2013 UTC = Sun Oct  6 01:59:59 2013 IDT isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
Asia/Jerusalem  Sat Oct  5 23:00:00 2013 UTC = Sun Oct  6 01:00:00 2013 IST isdst=0 gmtoff=7200

In Kubuntu 12.10 not even this amendment is not reflected:

$ zdump -v Asia/Jerusalem | grep 2013
Asia/Jerusalem  Thu Mar 28 23:59:59 2013 UTC = Fri Mar 29 01:59:59 2013 IST isdst=0 gmtoff=7200
Asia/Jerusalem  Fri Mar 29 00:00:00 2013 UTC = Fri Mar 29 03:00:00 2013 IDT isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
Asia/Jerusalem  Sat Sep  7 22:59:59 2013 UTC = Sun Sep  8 01:59:59 2013 IDT isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
Asia/Jerusalem  Sat Sep  7 23:00:00 2013 UTC = Sun Sep  8 01:00:00 2013 IST isdst=0 gmtoff=7200

The tzdata files should be updated to 2013d. I know I can do it manually by downloading the sources, compiling and replacing a few files, but I'm not the only person in this country who runs Kubuntu and most people trust their Linux distro to do this sort of work for them.
