Nope. It sure hasn't. Nice of them to think about us, don't you think?
Nice attitude [;)]
I contacted support a while back about this. The following is me paraphrasing what they told me: They aren't releasing an update for V5 that would address the DST change. They were, at the time, working on the V6 update. V7's already compliant.
We're still on V5. So I think it's either change it by hand, or try something like this:
I completely agree that this is long overdue, but I would like to point out that instability is unlikely. (Assuming the only changes are the TZ files and whatever TZ data GLIBC has.)
Assuming the up2date installs, and the system is restarted, it will either work, or it won't... there will be no in-between.
Of course, if it doesn't work, and there's no rollback, life will suck this weekend. [:P]
Hello,
At this time there is a plan to have a fix implemented, unfortunately there is no specific date set for the up2date release as far as I can find out this morning. V7 has this already built in, V6 and V5 as you are aware I am sure, are the ones affected.
A work around I can suggest is to use a public NTP server on the Astaro, such as those found here.

...Not impressed. Don't know what is taking so long if they are indeed actually doing anything. Maybe we are expected to upgrade our stable production systems to V7? Not likely here.
Greg, if you KNOW you aren't entitled to support, then why be upset with their reply? They answered your question, and gracefully, I thought, mentioned what your options are if you wanted to obtain support. If you are responsible for a major firewall implementation, why wouldn't you put a support case in with that license instead? If you're evaluating Astaro wouldn't you have an evaluation license to use instead?
I don't understand what the big deal is with this anyway. If it's so important that the logs might be out by an hour, There is a simple patch that will work on all versions of Astaro, as well as your wristwatch, microwave, and car. Just login & change the time. I don't mean any disrespect, this is meant to be a light-hearted reply.. I just don't get the big hype over this issue. People keep ocmparing it to y2k, but how many problems did that actually cause?
Where is it? No announcements yet. IMO, this update is at least 2 weeks late. No one in their right mind will update a production system on a Thursday or Friday before a weekend.

I did the upgrade to 6.304 on both my office and home Astaro boxes. The only problem I experienced was that today's network stats disappeared, leaving today's networking strip charts with no data. But that is a relatively minor issue.
Having left my right mind behind many years ago, I'm free to update my Astaro boxes whenever I want. [:D]
LOL. Luckily they appear to have minimized the number of changes for this release. We have pushed it out to non-critical sites with only one issue so far. clamav seems to be dying/restarting every hour and it's generating email alerts.
