Changelog for timezone-2024a-4.6.x86_64.rpm :

* Thu Mar 21 2024 Martin Schreiner - Unify SLE-15-SP6 and Factory packages (PED#8158). This is still related to bsc#1213470. We\'re applying this fix for SLE-15-SP6 too. This changelog entry is meant to bring over the SLE information, so the same package can be used for both code streams.- This patch has long been removed on Factory but was never mentioned explicitly, it was related to ticket bsc#1202310, a minor update to reflect Chile\'s DST change back in 2022.
* bsc1202310.patch
* Mon Mar 18 2024 Ludwig Nussel - Use /bin/sh for tzselect. Used to require bash for the \'select\' builtin but has a fallback meanwhile so no need for explicit bash anymore.
* Thu Mar 14 2024 Martin Schreiner - Drop the timezone-java (bsc#1213470). After thorough consideration of possible problems that arise from having a timezone package specifically for the Java ecosystem, Fridrich Strba and I have decided to drop the package altogether. Doing so means the JDK will use its built-in timezone data that is updated quarterly, when refreshed JDK versions are released. While this does mean there could be situations where there is a bit of a mismatch between the \'timezone\' package\'s data, and the data that is used by JDK, in practice the difference will be minimal and short-lived. So we\'ve established this to be the best course of action.- Remove _multibuild, not longer required.
