      1. remove this file in your site if present: dataroot/temp/olson.txt
      2. remove this file in your site if present: dataroot/temp/timezone.txt
      3. disable network access, so http://download.moodle.org/timezone/ cannot be accessed
      4. go to Admin -> Location -> Update timezones
      5. press the continue button, so the local lib/timezone.txt will be loaded
      6. 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.
      7. TEST: ignoring the previous warning, the load ends without any PHP notice/warning/error.
      8. TEST: The page shows this info: "2315 entries imported from YOUR_MOODLE_BASEDIR/lib/timezone.txt". 2315 is the important bit. And also that the load has happened from that directory.
      9. TEST: Run the phpunit tests, paying attention to any lib/tests/moodlelib_test.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 lib/tests/moodlelib_test.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 (2315) but loaded from http://download.moodle.org/timezone/

      Last update was done 8 months ago (to 2015a database, see MDL-49073). Going to update to tzdata2015g.tar.gz

      Instructions:
      Use https://gist.github.com/jethac/ee03aff52176fb7cc9fe to generate a file from the timezones data in iana.org, rename it as olson.txt
      1) Put the olson.txt file into dataroot/temp/olson.txt
      2) Go to Admin -> Location -> Update timezones and confirm
      3) Data will be loaded, replacing existing one
      4) Generate CSV file from phpMyAdmin (commas as field separators, non-quoted values, unix line feeds and first line as field names)
      5) Put it into /lib/timezone.txt
      6) Commit
      Note1: Current timezone.txt format is compatible only with Moodle 1.8 and upwards.
      Note2: We'll be spreading this change to 2.7 and 2.8 as this is not needed in 2.9 onwards after MDL-49684 changes
