Rails - Oct 2013 - Turn OFF Daglight saving time in Rails app

Hello Guys,

Is there any way that we can turn off DayLight saving in rails app?  
Rails uses tzinfo gem for converting time in zones but it does not handle 
it  correctly for some timezone. Is there any way we can turn OFF DayLight 
saving completly ?

Thanks

First I would recommend finding out what time zone data is being used 
and make sure it''s up-to-date. Turning off daylight saving time
doesn''t
seem like the right solution to your problem. Turning off daylight 
savings time might get the time right in one time zone only to make it 
wrong for everyone else. That would only work if you expect all your 
users to live within the "broken" time zone.

There are a couple of options for supplying the tzinfo gem with data as 
described here:

http://tzinfo.github.io

Maybe just using a different time zone database would fix your problem 
rather than using an ugly hack as you''re suggesting. You might be able 
to build a database from the IANA database. Or, have your confirmed that 
their data is wrong for the time zones in question?
