      • remove this file in your site if present: dataroot/temp/timezone.txt
      • disable network access, so http://download.moodle.org/timezone/ cannot be accessed
      • go to Admin -> Location -> Update timezones
      • press the continue button, so the local lib/timezone.txt will be loaded
      • TEST: With debugging enabled, you should get one message like "cURL request for "http://download.moodle.org/timezone/" failed...". Perfect, that means you disabled network access ok.
      • TEST: ignoring the previous warning, the load ends without any PHP notice/warning/error.
      • TEST: The page shows this info: "2323 entries imported from YOUR_MOODLE_BASEDIR/lib/timezone.txt". 2323 is the important bit. And also that the load has happened from that directory.
      • TEST: Run the phpunit tests, paying attention to any testmoodlelib.php result. Process should end with "xxx passes, 0 fails and 0 exceptions." (or, alternatively, if there are some tests failing, none of them are related to testmoodlelib.php and date/time functions).
      • POST-TEST (optional, must work if all the prev tests have worked): after rolling upstream (24h later at least), with network access enabled, load the timezones again, it should show the same number of timezones (2323) but loaded from http://download.moodle.org/timezone/

    Description

      Last update was done 3 months ago (to tzdata2014h database, see MDL-47536). Going to update to tzdata2015a.tar.gz.

      In addition, we'll need to add additional timezones from the database that we haven't included before in order to allow for Windows -> Olson conversion (pretty much just the etcetera file).

      Notes on this process are at https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Timezone_information
