Description Jose Maldonado 2016-07-17 17:18:28 UTC 
Hi, I'm a user from Venezuela, and the zoneinfo for my country is wrong

Actually the GMT-4 is the correct timezone for my country, but in FreeBSD this still remain in GMT-4:30.

The workaround is use the timezone for Bolivia (GMT-4:00) for that ntp can update time correctly.

The timezone files haven't been updated for a while, I have updated them recently.

But that won't make it in any release, but next release will have the proper timezone.

This seems like it deserves an EN and a patch release.
