Change of timezone City for India
by Goldwyn Rodrigues June 26, 2008

June 26, 2008

Hi, I am not sure how the timezone city for India is addressed as Kolkatta (formerly known as Calcutta, and listed in timezone as Calcutta), but this has been the case since I started using Linux, and don't know the reason of the city being used. India has only one timezone. I woulid like to suggest to change the city to Delhi (from Calcutta), which is the capital of India, and has been stable since the country's independence in 1947. If your criteria is the most populous city, it would be Mumbai (formerly Bombay). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_populous_cities_in_India Delhi being the capital, is also closer to Allahabad (actually Mirzapur), which is the city used for the official meridian, and Delhi is also the site of National Physical Laboratory, which is used for time keeping. For more details http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Standard_Time -- Goldwyn

Mauritius to re-introduce DST
by Steffen Thorsen June 25, 2008

June 25, 2008

Mauritius plans to observe DST from 2008-11-01 to 2009-03-31 on a trial basis. Some information about it from sources there: http://www.lexpress.mu/display_search_result.php?news_id=109689 (French) http://www.mcci.org/readmorechamber.aspx?id=359 Based on the articles like those above and contact with government officials, we have written more about it here: http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/mauritius-daylight-saving-time.html It seems that Mauritius observed daylight saving time from 1982-10-10 to 1983-03-20 as well, but that was not successful. Current zoneinfo or Shanks/Pottenger do not contain any details about this 1982-83 change. Best regards, Steffen Thorsen / timeanddate.com

This is just to inform you that by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diário Oficial da União" https://www.in.gov.br/imprensa/jsp/jsp/jornaiscompletos/visualizacao/pdf/vi…) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones, effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows: a) The timezone UTC+5 is estinguished, with all the Acre state and the part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the timezone UTC+4 b) The whole Pará state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just part of it, as was before. This change follows a proposal of senator Tião Viana of Acre state, that proposed it due to concerns about open television channels displaying programs inappropriate to youths in the states that had the timezone UTC+5 too early in the night. In the occasion, some more corrections were proposed, trying to unify the timezones of any given state. This change modifies timezone rules defined in decree 2.784 of 18 June, 1913.

This is not about clocksetting-zone information. I wrote a JScript script for turning all the links into an HTML page, and found fault with a handful of the actual anchors and for myself made these changes, maybe of interest if another does the same: diff -b ../austra~1 ./austra~1 1349c1349 < # <a hef="http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/asia-pacific/newsid_424000/424764.stm"> --- > # <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/asia-pacific/newsid_424000/424764.stm"> 1359c1359 < # According to <a href="http://www.tongaonline.com/news/sept1799.html> --- > # According to <a href="http://www.tongaonline.com/news/sept1799.html"> diff -b ../europe ./europe 460c460 < # <a href="http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/en/lif/dat/2000/en_300L0084.html" --- > # <a href="http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/en/lif/dat/2000/en_300L0084.html"> 1102c1102 < # says that Bersarin issued an order to use Moscow time on May 20. --- > # says that Bersarin issued an order to use Moscow time on May 20.</a> diff -b ../southa~1 ./southa~1 581c581 < # <a href="http://www.presidencia.gov.br/CCIVIL/decreto/2002/D4399.htm"></a> --- > # <a href="http://www.presidencia.gov.br/CCIVIL/decreto/2002/D4399.htm">4,399</a> 584c584 < # <a href="http://www.presidencia.gov.br/CCIVIL/decreto/2003/D4844.htm"></a> --- > # <a href="http://www.presidencia.gov.br/CCIVIL/decreto/2003/D4844.htm">4,844</a> 587c587 < # <a href="http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_Ato2004-2006/2004/Decreto/D5223.htm"></a> --- > # <a href="http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_Ato2004-2006/2004/Decreto/D5223.htm">5,223</a> Of course, many of the webpages have evaporated. (The script is really not good enough, for it misses those pages listed by themselvs after 'From Joseph S. Myers', and keeps only text right around the link. It seems to me not worth the while to make it turn all of the files into a webpage.)

UTC offset for Asia/Choibalsan
by Deborah Goldsmith May 4, 2008

May 4, 2008

We received a bug report claiming that the tz database UTC offset for Asia/Choibalsan (GMT+09:00) is incorrect, and that it should be GMT +08:00 instead. Different sources appear to disagree with the tz database on this, e.g.: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=1026 http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_MN.aspx both say GMT+08:00. Do we have any independent confirmation of the correct offset for Asia/ Choibalsan? Thanks, Deborah Goldsmith Apple Inc. goldsmit(a)apple.com
