Turkey decided to permanently stay in same time.

DST ended on Thursday, 8 September 2016, 00:00:00. Clocks were not changed.

Turkey is between +2 and +3 UTC, so now it will stay in +3. See here.

There is a discussion on StackOverflow but I have an application in Spring Boot in an Ubuntu machine. This is how I take my date:

cmntWrapper.setCreatedAtString(cmnt.getCreatedAt().
now(ZoneId.of(Constants.TURKEY_ZONE)).
format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(Constants.DATE_TIME_FORMAT)));

This shows the time as 13.50, but it is actually 14.50, because we are in +3.

What can I do?

I dont want to use UTC +3 because they may say next year, "lets again use to +2-+3 switching to daylight saving concept". So I can't risk it.

I can't change the code in future weeks. It will stay permanent after a few weeks.

What do you suggest for permanent?

The IANA suggests this:

java -jar tzupdater.jar options

But it doesnot work:

root@vegan:/home/vegan/Downloads/tzdb# java -jar tzdata-latest.tar.gz Error: Invalid or corrupt jarfile tzdata-latest.tar.gz

That is my jva

root@vegan:/usr/bin# whereis java
java: /usr/bin/java /usr/share/java /usr/share/man/man1/java.1.gz

When I try to do in that directory

root@vegan:/usr/bin# java -jar tzupdater.jar -u -l http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzdata-latest.tar.gz

I got error for version and I can't install tz:

E: Unable to locate package tzdata-java

and also how can I make java? because for my test linux machine, see this please

puapp@PU-APP-01:~$ java -jar tzupdater.jar -u -l https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzdata2015g.tar.gz
The program 'java' can be found in the following packages:
 * default-jre
 * gcj-4.8-jre-headless
 * openjdk-7-jre-headless
 * gcj-4.6-jre-headless
 * openjdk-6-jre-headless
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>

So JRE is not installed but the application is up now. So, what can I do now? If I install JRE, what changes? When I run date, it shows the correct time already in console. I generated this app with Docker.

puapp@PU-APP-01:~$ java version
The program 'java' can be found in the following packages:
 * default-jre
 * gcj-4.8-jre-headless
 * openjdk-7-jre-headless
 * gcj-4.6-jre-headless
 * openjdk-6-jre-headless
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>


puapp@PU-APP-01:~$ whereis java
java: /usr/share/java

But in local I have java.

vegan@vegan:~$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_111"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_111-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.111-b14, mixed mode)

but local is not important. that linux server is immportant.

and for our main machine, there is java

produp@Produp-app-01:~$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_91"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode)
produp@Produp-app-01:~$

Now the time is 00.44. When I run

vegan@vegan:/usr/bin/tzdb$ date
Cum Kas  4 00:44:47 +03 2016

It returns the correct time, but in app the time is still 1 hour later. I don't know if always the hour was correct. If console shows true hour, what can tzdata do to app?

  • The permanent solution need to be the _tzdata_ and _tzdata-java_ package update. It is supposed to include all the changes in the political decisions in all countries. Not sure why it is not updated for Turkey, need to have a look at the package logs... – Rostislav Kandilarov Nov 03 '16 at 20:11

Hh.... Usually all political decisions about timezones and DST are included in updates of the tzdata and tzdata-java packages... So simple update of those packages need to provide the "current" political timezone...

Here is the change log for the tzdata and I see New upstream release, with DST changes for Turkey (LP: #1621373) added at 2016-10-21. 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade tzdata

EDITED...

BUT!!! It appears that there is no longer tzdata-java - have a look and follow the links in the answers at What happened to tzdata-java in Xenial 16.04? for possible workarounds via PPA.
