Well, the official schedule is still to have a Directive agreed by the Council of Ministers by 1 Jan 97. I doubt that this will happen as all previous ones I know of have been late. I reported the Commissions proposals here in May. They were another 4 years of the current rules: year start end 1998 29 Mar 25 Oct 1999 28 Mar 31 Oct 2000 26 Mar 29 Oct 2001 25 Mar 28 Oct If the French are now going to take a few months or so to decide what they want it virtually guarantees that the 8th directive will be late.

Some thoughts ...
by Chris Carrier Sept. 7, 1996

Sept. 7, 1996

Some thoughts ... Markus G. Kuhn <kuhn(a)cs.purdue.edu> suggested that we get more formal, call ourselves the "Timezone Information Center" and let ourselves become more well known. I don't want to requote his entire post but I do favor all his suggestions. Peter Ilieve reported in a message received here on 1996-Sep-05 08:00 GMT: >The BBC Radio 4 news reported this morning that the French prime >minister Alain Juppe has issued some sort of letter indicating that >France will abandon summer time and keep the clocks the same for >the whole year... >The report said a parliamentary commission would now be set up to >decide if France should use GMT+1 or GMT+2 as its standard time. A thought; this October will be the first October that France will be voluntarily on GMT+2. It was involuntarily on GMT+2 during a couple of Octobers during the Nazi occupation. On the last day of GMT+2 this year, sunrise in Paris will be at 8:27, and at Cherbourg, 8:44. If GMT+2 were to become used all year sunrise in Paris would be delayed until 9:44, and in Cherbourg, 10:04! >I didn't catch what it said about the start date for any of this. To which Antoine Leca commented (1996-09-05) :Addition reflexion from myself: this is only a mission; given the prior :art and the time needed for the mission to investigate, I don't expect :this to change the DST rules in France for 1997, and I understand the :goal is the 8th directive. [starting 1998] :BTW, there will be elections in March 1998 in France. >So much for EC Directives. Actually the EC seems to give member states quite a bit of latitude in summer time dates; prior to 1995, the Directives specifically allowed the UK and Ireland authority to end summer time in late October, and that there was once a proposal to synchronize the end of summer time in 1984-6 at the second Sunday in October throughout the EC, but this fell through (source: some errors in the Nautical Almanac). What the EU might consider would be the adoption of something similar to the Uniform Time Act in the United States; set the dates for summer time but allow member states to opt out of the summer time provision if they so choose. Has anyone heard anything about the release date of the 8th Directive?

Suggestion: Timezone Information Center
by kuhn＠cs.purdue.edu Sept. 5, 1996

Sept. 5, 1996

As far as I know, this mailing list represents the best collection of people knowledgeable about time zones and summer time regulations all over the world. There would be many advantages if we could present ourself as a more formal entity to the governments of this world. We could establish something called for instance a "International Timezone Information Center". We could send letters directly or over UN channels to the governments. In these letters, we could invite the government employees responsible for the various national time zones to join our mailing list and we could ask the governments to inform us about any future time zone changes as early as possible. We could also provide for governments information material about the summer time switching algorithms that are currently in use. Such a periodic mailing could be easily created automatically from the most recent tz database. Such a publication would have several effects: - Governments have a chance to check the Olson database contents periodicly (both algorithms and terminology) - Governments are reminded periodicly to inform us whenever they plan to change their time zones - We would get in better contact with other organizations that collect timezone information (CIA, phone companies, etc.) - Governments are made a little bit more aware about the headaches that frequent arbitrary time zone changes and incompatible summer time switching rules can cause in the technical world - We would not have to rely completely on unprecise media reports about planned timezone changes but would get access to more official reports - Governments would get well-engineered examples of how a summer time switching rule should be specified correctly - Governments could perhaps be persuaded to accept a unique ID for their national time zones (I have already seen some good proposals here) All we need is someone who would be willing to operate such a "International Timezone Information Center (ITIC?)", preferably someone working for a big organization or company that is very interested in keeping information about time zones up to date. Perhaps several such organizations (AT&T, Sun, Microsoft, etc.) would be willing to support a time zone information center. The Information Center should under no circumstances be financed by selling the resulting publications. The data should be freely usable, in order to avoid the silly situation that we have with ISO standards (not online and so expensive that almost nobody ever sees a copy them). May be, we could later give this operation a more official touch by writing an ISO standard or an ITU-R TF-series recommendation <URL:http://www.itu.ch/itudoc/itu-r/rec/tf.html> that describes the role of the ITIC (ugly acronym, better suggestions?). We could also establish some more or less formal relations with the UN and the BIH/IERS (Bureau International d'Heure/International Earth Rotation Service, the folks that define UTC as defined by ITU-R). What do you think? Markus -- Markus G. Kuhn, Computer Science grad student, Purdue University, Indiana, USA -- email: kuhn(a)cs.purdue.edu

I have been living in Japan for a year and can confirm that there was no DST this year. Also, although I can't read Japanese newspapers, it's worth pointing out that there was absolutely no mention of the possibility of implementing DST in any English-language periodicals here, as far as I know. The only place I've heard anything about the possibility is on this mailing list. (Of course, this being Japan, perhaps such things are not discussed before they are announced :-)) Stephen Eubank eubank(a)itl.atr.co.jp

Possible future changes in France
by peter＠memex.co.uk Sept. 5, 1996

Sept. 5, 1996

The BBC Radio 4 news reported this morning that the French prime minister Alain Juppe has issued some sort of letter indicating that France will abandon summer time and keep the clocks the same for the whole year. It was reported as though this was almost a personal decision of his. He apparently doesn't see the point of it, says that many people don't understand why it is done, it has no economic benefit and it disturbs the sleep patterns of the young and elderly. The report said a parliamentary commission would now be set up to decide if France should use GMT+1 or GMT+2 as its standard time. I didn't catch what it said about the start date for any of this. So much for EC Directives. Peter Ilieve peter(a)aldie.co.uk

Comments on download/Asia
by Chris Carrier Sept. 5, 1996

Sept. 5, 1996

Some comments (there will be a lot more) on the time zone download of yesterday. These comments are confined to Asia (will make more comments as I digest the long posting). It was postulated that Japan would go on DST in 1996, probably using the American rules of 1st Sunday in April to last Sunday in October. I just called AT&T and got back a time of GMT+9; therefore they are not on DST. (This does not, however, preclude their going on DST this April 7 and then deciding to end DST earlier than planned.) Sri Lanka is listed as advancing from GMT+5:30 to +6:30 on 1996 May 25. I thought this happened on July 20???? Earlier during this year's Russian summer time period I called AT&T to get the time in Mongolia. I was quoted GMT+9 (GMT+8 with DST) for the entire country, and was told they were on 1 time zone not 3. Chris Carrier

proposed patch for selecting TZ, MET->CST, Sri Lanka, Antarctica,...
by Paul Eggert Sept. 4, 1996

Sept. 4, 1996

A while ago I composed several proposed changes to the tz tables in response to recent messages to this list, but I never got around to sending them off. Over Labor Day weekend I wrote up a description of the changes (see below). The proposed patch itself is at the end of this message. Sorry about the length and complexity of this change. * Improve support for selecting timezones. ** Add new tables zone.tab and iso3166.tab to make it easier to write scripts for administrators selecting a TZ value when configuring an installation. ** A new program `tzselect' uses these tables to interact with the user and output the resulting TZ value; it should be easy to write a GUI-based program as well. ** `make check_tables' checks these new tables for consistency. * Adopt the following rules for time zone abbreviations. (These rules are documented in the `africa' file.) Use abbreviations that consist of 3 or more upper-case Ascii letters, except use "___" for locations while uninhabited. Posix.1 requires at least 3 characters, and the restriction to upper-case Ascii letters follows most traditions. Previous editions of this database also used characters like ' ' and '?', but these characters have a special meaning to the shell and cause commands like set `date` to have unexpected effects. In theory, the character set could be !%./@A-Z^_a-z{}, but these tables use only upper-case Ascii letters (and "___"). Use abbreviations that are in common use among English-speakers, e.g. `EST' for Eastern Standard Time in North America. We assume that applications translate them to other languages as part of the normal localization process; for example, a French application might translate `EST' to `HNE'. For zones whose times are taken from a city's longitude, use the traditional xMT notation, e.g. `PMT' for Paris Mean Time. The only name like this in current use is `GMT'. If there is no common English abbreviation, abbreviate the English translation of the usual phrase used by native speakers. If this is not available or is a phrase mentioning the country (e.g. ``Cape Verde Time''), then: When a country has a single or principal time zone region, append `T' to the country's ISO code, e.g. `CVT' for Cape Verde Time. For summer time append `ST'; for double summer time append `DST'; etc. When a country has multiple time zones, take the first three letters of an English place name identifying each zone and then append `T', `ST', etc. as before; e.g. `MOSST' for MOScow Summer Time. * Add the following changes planned for the future: ** time zone abbreviation change due to planned political change Asia/Hong_Kong 1997 HKT -> CST Asia/Macao 1999 MOT -> CST * Add the following changes relevant to today's timestamps: ** Asia/Colombo adopted UTC+0630 on May 25; use `LKT' for new abbreviation. ** Asia/Ashkhabad is at UTC+4, not UTC+5. ** Asia/Dushanbe is at UTC+5, not UTC+6. ** Pacifc/Efate observes DST (the previous tables omitted this due to a typo). ** New zones: Africa/El_Aaiun - Western Sahara switched from AAT to WET in 1976. Africa/Ceuta - Spanish Morocco switched from Moroccan to Spanish rules in 1984. Antarctica/Casey - Antarctic research station Antarctica/Mawson - " Antarctica/McMurdo - " Antarctica/South_Pole - " Arctic/Longyearbyen - has a different country code from Europe/Oslo Asia/Ishigaki - uncomment it, since it seems to be right Asia/Kuching - Kuala Lumpur changed UTC offset in 1982, but Kuching didn't ** Zone name change: Africa/Lumumbashi -> Africa/Lubumbashi (fixes an embarrassing misspelling) ** Time zone abbrevation changes Many (but not all) of these changes are a result of the more consistent time zone abbreviation policy described above. *** MET -> CET correction The following changes fix the tz database to reflect actual practice. This change affects many locations in Europe, North Africa, and the Near East. MET -> CET (Central European Time) MET DST -> CEST (Central European Summer Time) MET DDST -> MEDST Similarly for EET DST, WET DST *** South America says ``summer'', not ``daylight'' America/Buenos_Aires: ARST/ARDT -> ART/ARST *** Ad hoc timezone abbreviation -> different ad hoc abbreviation America/Godthab: WGT/WGT DST -> WGT/WGST America/Scoresbysund: EGT/EGT DST -> EGT/EGST *** Ad hoc names to ISO-3166-oriented names America/Asuncion: AST/ADT -> PYT/PYST America/Bogota: EST -> COT America/Cayenne: EST -> GFT America/Caracas: AST -> VET America/Guayaquil: EST -> ECT America/Guyana: EST -> GYT America/La_Paz: AST -> BOT America/Lima: EST -> PET America/Miquelon: SPST/SPDT -> PMST/PMDT America/Montevideo: EST/EDT -> UYT/UYST America/Paramaribo: EST -> SRT America/Santiago: CST/CDT -> CLT/CLST Asia/Ashkhabad: ASK -> TMT Asia/Baku: BSK -> AZT Asia/Bishkek: BSK/BSD -> KGT/KGST Asia/Dacca: BGT -> BDT Asia/Dushanbe: DSK -> TJT Asia/Kuala_Lumpur: SGT -> MYT Asia/Macao: CST -> MOT Asia/Manila: PST/PDT -> PHT/PHST Asia/Rangoon: BMT -> MMT Asia/Tashkent: TSK -> UZT Asia/Tbilisi: TBSK -> GET Asia/Tehran: IST -> IRT Asia/Thimbu: BGT -> BTT Asia/Yerevan: AMST -> AMT Atlantic/Cape_Verde: AAT -> CVT Atlantic/South_Georgia: FST -> GST Atlantic/Stanley: AST/ADT -> FKT/FKST Indian/Chagos: PKT -> IOT Indian/Christmas: JVT -> CXT Indian/Mahe: SMT -> SCT Indian/Maldives: PKT -> MVT Indian/Mauritius: SMT -> MUT Indian/Reunion: SMT -> RET Pacific/Apia: SST -> WST Pacific/Efate: NCST/NCDT -> VUT/VUST Pacific/Fakaofo: THT -> TKT Pacific/Fiji: NZST -> FJT Pacific/Funafuti: NZST -> TVT Pacific/Guadalcanal: NCST -> SBT Pacific/Kwajalein, Pacific/Majuro: NZST -> MHT Pacific/Nauru: NZST -> NRT Pacific/Niue: SST -> NUT Pacific/Norfolk: NRFT -> NFT Pacific/Palau: PLT -> PWT Pacific/Pitcairn: PIT -> PNT Pacific/Port_Moresby: EST -> PGT Pacific/Rarotonga: THT/THDT -> CKT/CKHST Pacific/Saipan: GST -> MPT Pacific/Tongatapu: TGT -> TOT Pacific/Wallis: NZST -> WFT *** Ad hoc names to first-3-letters-of-place names Asia/Aktau: ASK/ASD -> AKTT/AKTST Asia/Alma-Ata: AASK/AASD -> ALMT/ALMST Asia/Anadyr: ASK/ASD -> ANAT/ANAST Asia/Irkutsk: ISK/ISD -> IRKT/IRKST Asia/Jakarta: JVT -> JAVT Asia/Jayapura: MLT -> JAYT Asia/Kamchatka: PSK/PSD -> PETT/PETST Asia/Krasnoyarsk: KRSK/KRSD -> KRAT/KRAST Asia/Magadan: MSK/MSD -> MAGT/MAGST Asia/Novosibirsk: NSK/NSD -> NOVT/NOVST Asia/Omsk: OSK/OSD -> OMST/OMSST Asia/Ujung_Pandang: BNT -> BORT Asia/Ulan_Bator: UST/UTT -> ULAT/ULAST Asia/Vladivostok: VSK/VSD -> VLAT/VLAST Asia/Yakutsk: YSK/YSD -> YAKT/YAKST Europe/Kuybyshev: KSK/KSD -> KUYT/KUYST Europe/Moscow and several other locations: MSK/MSD -> MOST/MOSST Europe/Yekaterinburg: ESK/ESD -> YEKT/YEKST Pacific/Chatham: CHST/CHDT -> CHAST/CHADT Pacific/Easter: CST/CDT -> EAST/EASST Pacific/Enderbury: TGT -> PHOT Pacific/Galapagos: CST -> GALT Pacific/Gambier: GBT -> GAMT Pacific/Kiritimati: KRT -> LINT Pacific/Kosrae: NZST -> KOST Pacific/Marquesas: MQT -> MART Pacific/Ponape: NCST -> PONT Pacific/Tahiti: THT -> TAHT Pacific/Tarawa: NZST -> GILT Pacific/Truk: GST -> TRUT Pacific/Wake: NZST -> WAKT Pacific/Yap: GST -> YAPT * There are many other changes relevant only for historical timestamps.

In theory, the character set could ! # be !%./@A-Z^_a-z{}, but these tables use only upper-case ! # Ascii letters (and "___"). ! # Use abbreviations that are in common use among English-speakers, ! # e.g. `EST' for Eastern Standard Time in North America. ! # We assume that applications translate them to other languages ! # as part of the normal localization process; for example, ! # a French application might translate `EST' to `HNE'. ! # For zones whose times are taken from a city's longitude, use the ! # traditional xMT notation, e.g. `PMT' for Paris Mean Time. ! # The only name like this in current use is `GMT'. ! # If there is no common English abbreviation, abbreviate the English ! # translation of the usual phrase used by native speakers. ! # If this is not available or is a phrase mentioning the country ! # (e.g. ``Cape Verde Time''), then: ! # ! # When a country has a single or principal time zone region, ! # append `T' to the country's ISO code, e.g. `CVT' for ! # Cape Verde Time. For summer time append `ST'; ! # for double summer time append `DST'; etc. ! # When a country has multiple time zones, take the first three ! # letters of an English place name identifying each zone ! # and then append `T', `ST', etc. as before; ! # e.g. `MOSST' for MOScow Summer Time. # ! # ! # For Africa I invented the following time zone abbreviations. # LMT Local Mean Time ! # -1:00 AAT Atlantic Africa Time (no longer used) # 0:00 WAT West Africa Time # 1:00 CAT Central Africa Time # 2:00 SAT South Africa Time # 3:00 EAT East Africa Time # The final `T' is replaced by `ST' for summer time, e.g. `SAST'. # BEAT is British East Africa Time, which was 2:30 before 1948 and 2:45 after. # Algeria # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S !

There must be something wrong with my real job that I am spending so much time on this :-) I found the XPG4 definition of the C/POSIX locale (for those reading along, I am in the XPG4 System Interfaces Definitions Issue 4, Version 2). The LC_TIME locale category is discussed starting at Section 5.3.5, p. 69. The C/POSIX locale value for d_fmt (the thing associated with %x) is "%m/%d/%y". This can be found on p. 75. Normally, XPG4 is not very creative here, so I doubt they made this up, but I cannot find where they could have taken it from. I will ask the big league standards guys around here tomorrow. alan

If you are going to follow the standards, then strftime() should replace %x with the "locale's appropriate date representation". That means that the date representation should vary based on the locale that the caller is running under. The default locale is the C locale. I am at home and I do not keep the standards here, so I cannot look up what that should be, but I can do it later tonight or tomorrow. alan perry former standards and libc guy current zoneinfo and device driver interfaces guy

c-common.c; strftime.c; question
by ado Aug. 22, 1996

Aug. 22, 1996

A new version of the GNU C compiler's file c-common.c is available: ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/c-common.c This version does strftime format checking against the formats recognized by an impending release of GNU's strftime.c; as suggested by Paul Eggert, it's also been retooled to minimize the differences between it and the stock c-common.c (at the cost of a bit of obscureness). Also available is ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/strftime.c which is a first attempt at run-time strftime format checking. If the environment variable CHECK_STRFTIME_FORMATS_FOR_TWO_DIGIT_YEARS is defined, strftime formats are checked at run time and diagnostics are written to stderr about formats that produce two-digit years in all locales, in the current locale, or in some locales. And a year-2000 related question: might it be best to change strftime so that "%x" yields, for example, 1996-08-22 rather than 08/22/96 as is currently true? Feedback on the new files and the question most welcome! --ado

Paul, you will correct me, but a few weeks ago you tested the "week" code in strftime and you hopefully saw that I have no %U, %V, and %W implemented (all three kinds of week representation from XPG4 and therefore ISO 8601). If think %W is the representation Jim van Zandt asked for. -- Uli --------------. drepper(a)cygnus.com ,-.

UNIX System Administration Handbook CDROM
by Evi Nemeth Aug. 19, 1996

Aug. 19, 1996

August, 1996 Dear Arthur: A CD-ROM of useful software, tools, and facts for system administrators has replaced the appendices as part of the second edition of UNIX System Administration Handbook (Prentice Hall, 1995). We are about to do a new printing of the book and CD and would like to include your software package "tzcode, tzdata" on the CD. Please excuse the form-letter-ness of this message, it's due to the number of software packages in question and a lack of sophistication in my PERL programming skills. My purpose in writing covers three issues: availability, correctness of our index entry, and continuing permission to include your software. 1) We would like to confirm that "tzcode, tzdata" is in fact freely redistributable and that you have no objection to its inclusion on our CD. The CD is included with the book at no cost; the current version is available as an update for a modest distribution cost. The image of the CD can also be accessed by anonymous ftp from cs.colorado.edu. 2) We want to make sure that our page-length "index entry" from the CD for your software is accurate and complete. Both the index entry and the tentative table of contents of the CD are included below. 3) In order to expedite future updates of the CD we'd like you to choose a permission model from those listed below (or suggest your own): a) OK to include the software forever; don't bother me again b) OK to include the software, but ask each time you revise the CD c) Please DO NOT distribute my software We intend to upgrade as software evolves, but new releases of the CD will track printings of the book and so the timing is not under our control. If you agree to a "don't ask me again" model, it would help us keep our index pages current and correct if you would make the README associated with your software include any changes in the maintainer or primary ftp site. Please use email to respond; if we don't hear from you we will assume that it is OK to include your software and that our index entry is correct (permission model b), but we would prefer an explicit answer. Thank you, -evi Evi Nemeth, Assoc Prof Computer Science Dept University of Colorado Boulder, CO 80309-0430 303-492-5385

Sri Lanka situation

Aug. 17, 1996

Paul Eggert > INTERNET:eggert@twinsun.com wrote: >despite the phrases used in the news articles, the Sri Lanka time switch >isn't daylight time in the usual sense -- it's a permanent change Are you sure of this? Is it 'for the duration of the emergency' or is it meant to permanent and for all time, or is it year-round until a definite date in the future? (As an aside, YRDST in the United States, when implemented in 1942, was to last until six months after the end of the war, but was modified by another bill in the summer of 1945, after the war was won, to end on the last Sunday in September, the ending date for most jurisdictions observing seasonal DST in the twenty years before the war. A lot of war-related legislation had a 'duration plus six months' clause in it.) I had imagined that the change would be year-round and not seasonal, because of SL being so near the equator; I ran some sunrise/sunset data for Colombo and noted there was only a 36 minute difference between the latest (February 2, 6:29 GMT+5:30) and earliest (May 26, 5:53 GMT+5:30) sunrises of the year.

Sri Lanka, Arthur C. Clarke
by Chris Carrier Aug. 16, 1996

Aug. 16, 1996

Did anyone get a response from anyone in Sri Lanka concerning the daylight- time situation? I've been subscribing to soc.culture.sri-lanka and haven't seen anything there other than Paul's posting, as the ng seems to be mostly about Sinhalese and Tamils living outside Sri Lanka cheering on their respective home teams and accusing each other of war crimes. Also, I wonder if Arthur C. Clarke, who lives in Sri Lanka and has made comments on time zoning, has had anything to say about it. The future of time zoning is of interest to me, especially since I live in California, and Clarke in the novel IMPERIAL EARTH (1976) projected that in 2276 we would have only four time zones. Although not explicitly stated, I believe that the times he used were GMT-5 for both American continents, GMT+1 for Europe and Africa, GMT+7 for Asia, and either GMT+13 or -11 for Australia/NZ/Pacific Ocean.

Year 2000

One thought is to provide the GNU folks with code to support a compilie-time option that checks strftime arguments and warns about warn about two-digit-year format specifications (along the lines of the checking now done of printf and scanf formats). Another thought is to set up strftime to warn about two-digit-year format specifications if a sufficiently obscurely named environment variable is present. Does anyone know of prior art in these (or other) areas? --ado
