Yum. The tzdata maintainer publishes a new version with the changed data files.
The tzdata archive contains textual description of the timezones which are
compiled into a binary format. The tools for dumping and compiling are not
include in Fedora Core.
zdump and zic are included in the glibc-common package.
Red Hat then releases a new tzdata package and everyone
updates through yum.
Red Hat don't release any updates for FC2 any more. It is End-of-Lifed.
