PFSense PHP time is incorrect in America/Sao_Paulo time zone

[felipewnp]

It is a reality for everyone in brazil. pfsense show the wrong time and we have to select a different timezone.

pfsense tzdata is badly outdated. That is the problem.

There is any way to update and keep updated pfsense tzdata package?

Cant a pkg update/upgrade tzdata be implemented to fetch an updated tzdata package?

A 2/3 year static tzdata doesnt work very well since it is vastly updated with changes arround the world.

My main question is just that, There is any way to update and keep updated pfsense tzdata package?

pfsense doesn't use a tzdata package that I can tell.. From this OLD bug

https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/4459

It looks to be using the stock tzdata of whatever freebsd version they are using. If that is the case then moving to 2.5 will update that because it will be using new version of freebsd, vs the 11.3 version its using now.

I found today that PHP is already with the correct time, even before we update to PFSense 2.5. With that, the conclusion I had is that certain packages of the FreeBSD system receive updates before the PFSense system itself, even because if I did not do this I would not receive updates from the repository to notify that there is a new update from it.

Problem solved. FreeBSD version 11.3-Stable.
