Description Arvin Schnell 2011-07-19 08:00:40 UTC 
The new country South Sudan is missing on timezone selection map in YaST.
Comment 1 Jiří Suchomel 2011-07-20 08:52:30 UTC 
Well, I guess timezone package still does not have new data...
Comment 2 Michael Matz 2011-07-20 13:04:19 UTC 
That's correct, but note that the timezone database doesn't necessarily list
all existing countries.  It rather lists timezones, and times of change.
The latter entries can be regional (and hence also mention countries).

Sudan doesn't have DST since 1985, and is at GMT+3 since 2000, with no changes
since then.  Does yast really have to wait for tzdata to contain this country?
(i.e. does it parse some zoneinfo data)?
Comment 3 Jiří Suchomel 2011-07-20 13:06:10 UTC 
YaST parses zone.tab for the timezone map data
Comment 4 Michael Matz 2012-11-12 14:28:17 UTC 
Assigning to timezone maintainer.  Perhaps zone.tab includes South Sudan meanwhile.
Comment 5 Dirk Mueller 2013-09-23 14:44:31 UTC 
South Sudan is part of timezone 2013e or newer.
