New tzdata release for ubuntu 20.04 lts (and higher)

[Dauren Sarsenov]

Hi, guys.

Good news, I can see that an updated version of tzdata has been released for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. 

Can you suggest, how can i backport it to Ubuntu 18.04, 16.04 (as they are retired, i guess they will never see the update otherwise)?



Best

Asking, because there is a new upstream build (https://www.iana.org/time-zones), and rather critical one to us, who live in Kazakhstan. The clock is to be moved 1 hour back on the 1st of March 2024. The new build of tzdata contains the appropriate rule, thus it is highly anticipated currently.
