tzdata is quite old in jdks

[asmild]

We faced a need of using Cairo TZ, but it appeared that in JDK the old one is used. We checked via tzupdater.jar and found that current JRE tzdata version is tzdata2022g. But latest one in that moment is tzdata2023c.

tzupdater doesn't solve our issue, otherwise I wouldn't come. We need new tzdata built-in in binaries.

@asmild What failure did you experience using tzupdater?

[asmild]

Wrong time when tz is Cairo

[karianna]

OK, but when you used the tzupdater.jar what was the sequence of instructions you gave?

[asmild]

the issue is- we can't use tzupdater.jar. there is no technical possibility to do that

[asmild]

OFC, with tzupdater.jar tzdata is been updating well, but, as I said it's not our case. In our case we can just get ready binaries

Why is it not possible? Are you not allowed to run the tool? The next time we bundle the updated TZ will be in the July PSU

[asmild]

Ok, then we can wait until July
