Hi there, I think I may have spotted an error in the timezone data for Jordan. The current (2009d) asia file shows Jordan going to daylight saving time on the last Thursday in March. Rule Jordan 2000 max - Mar lastThu 0:00s 1:00 S However timeanddate.com, which I usually find reliable, shows Jordan going to daylight saving time on the last Friday in March since 2002. Please see http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone.html?n=11 Thursday, 28 March 2002, 23:59:59 No +2 hours EET Friday, 29 March 2002, 01:00:00 1 hour +3 hours EEST DST starts ... Thursday, 26 March 2009, 23:59:59 No +2 hours EET Friday, 27 March 2009, 01:00:00 1 hour +3 hours EEST DST starts Cheers, Phil.

Generating "TZ" string from /etc/localtime?
by Philip A. Prindeville March 29, 2009

March 29, 2009

Sorry if this is answered somewhere and I just haven't come across it. I'm the lead developer for Astlinux: http://www.astlinux.org and we're using uClibc in an embedded Linux environment. We need a way of parsing out zoneinfo files (starting with whatever /etc/localtime links to) and dumping out the string at the end: I was looking in tzcode2009.tar.gz and couldn't find a function to parse a tzfile... sort of the complement of writezone() in zic.c. Also, are there any patches to make cross-compilation or packaging (a la DESTDIR) easier? Thanks, -Philip
