What is the easies to use package for dealing with time zones and DST
changes?
I just need to be able to track when to start various activities bases
on local times.
The problem is I have to trace a few time zones.
It looks like TZFile will do the job, but I am not sure how stable it
is.
(It uses the zone files on the local system)

Or maybe there are other packages I have over looked.
I did look at TZinfo, but is seems to be static code not live data.
Any suggestions?

Hi Thomas,
I would take a look at TZInfo again. Since it’s used by rails, it
should be pretty reliable.
But I didn’t really get the static code vs live data reflection. The
tables need to be updated once in a while, but that is fixed by
upgrading the gem. Is this what you mean ?

Yes, but to get the update my program would need to re-load, not to
mention I would have to manually, I would often forget, which defeats
the purpose

Yeah I know what you mean. It’s not a problem for most people because
they push code changes to their product anyways. I’m afraid not much
people need a fire and forget solution like you do.
Sorry I couldn’t help.
