Hello, I just received a barrage of emails (over 50) due to spam messages, I suggest the list owners look into first posts requiring approval before they are published. This is done for example in the Python docs list, and allows for such spam to be prevented. Best Regards, Stan Ulbrych

TZLOAD_FROMENV flag used incorrectly
by Dag-Erling Smørgrav Aug. 31, 2025

Aug. 31, 2025

tzset_unlocked() calls zoneinit() with TZLOAD_STRINGS | TZLOAD_FROMENV regardless of whether name actually came from the environment. If name is null, zoneinit() will use TZDEFAULT instead, but will incorrectly consider that to be tainted, and unnecessarily perform an access check before trying to open it. That is luckily harmless in unmodified tzcode, but I would still prefer if TZLOAD_FROMENV were only set when actually true; see attached patch. DES -- Dag-Erling Smørgrav - des(a)des.no

[PROPOSED] Update tz-link for FTP, Go, Levine proposal
by Paul Eggert Aug. 30, 2025

Aug. 30, 2025

* tz-link.html: Remove links to projects that seem to be dead: MINIX, tziCal, tzdist-bis, Australian Parliamentary Library pub. Remove ftp: links as modern browsers don’t support them; instead, just mention FTP (and rsync, while we’re at it). Go seems to have fixed its 32-bit time_t bug. Cite British Sleep Society position paper on DST, and move the medical citations to a new list.

Using curved quotes etc. in TZDB HTML
by Paul Eggert Aug. 30, 2025

Aug. 30, 2025

After looking at today’s little change[1] to one of TZDB’s HTML files, I noticed that it cited Morrison et al’s 2020 paper but changed the paper’s title to use straight quotes 'like this' instead of curved quotes ‘like this’. Although TZDB’s HTML files mostly use straight quotes, they’re not methodical about it, and anyway straight quotes are to some extent a relic of the 20th century and in HTML files we can now reliably use curved quotes. So I composed a patch (attached) to be more consistent about quoting, and to use curved quotes except in places where the quotes are part of computer code and need to be straight. I haven’t installed this patch, though, because it’s annoying to edit HTML that looks like this: strings like “Prague”, “Praha”, “Прага”, and “布拉格”. I’d rather edit HTML that looks like this: strings like “Prague”, “Praha”, “Прага”, and “布拉格”. Since the HTML files are already UTF-8 encoded (otherwise they wouldn’t contain those non-ASCII letters) this shouldn’t be a problem with today’s editors. In 2014[2] I held off on making such a change because Garrett Wollman wrote that XEmacs 21.4 does not support quotes ‘like this’ or “like this”. However, XEmacs 21.4 has not been updated since 2009 and by now I would think XEmacs users would be using either XEmacs 21.5 (even though it’s still “beta”) or GNU Emacs, and both of these do support curved quotes. So instead of installing this patch, I’m inclined to install a different one in which HTML files use UTF-8 quotes “like this” rather than harder-to-read HTML entities “like this”. If this is OK we can also do something similar with other special characters such as “–” instead of “–”. Comments welcome. I am ccing this email to Garrett to see whether XEmacs 21.4 is still an issue with him.

If I understand > the "workman.sh" script correctly, all that would be left for your > pipeline is to strip a trailing blank line. Thanks for the suggestion. As TZDB has been shipping *.txt files with single header and trailer lines for some time, I think we can simply prefer that style now for groff; this removes the need to strip a trailing blank line. For traditional nroff the best we can easily do is omit all headers and trailers, to avoid irritating headers elsewhere. > You might find it more convenient to use command-line options than to > append to macro definitions and otherwise inject *roff into nroff's > input stream (which is interpreted only after the macro package is > loaded, a fact that will have important consequences in groff 1.24). Thanks for the suggestion. Although this assumes groff we can do it just for groff (and for mandoc) and continue to do things the traditional way on old-fashioned (by now, very old-fashioned) hosts. I installed the attached proposed patches to implement your suggestion and a bit more.

Re: question regarding Mongolian timezone /Hovd GMT+/
by Munkh-Erdene Erdenebat Aug. 27, 2025

Aug. 27, 2025

Dear IANA Colleagues, I hope this message finds you well. My name is Munkh-Erdene from Mobicom Corporation, a mobile phone operator in Mongolia. I have a question regarding the Mongolian timezone, specifically for the Hovd region. According to various online sources, Mongolia currently has two time zones: Hovd (UTC+7) and Ulaanbaatar (UTC+8). The Hovd timezone is observed in three provinces: Hovd, Bayan-Ulgii, and Uvs. However, when I checked the tzdata files (zone.tab and zone1970.tab), it lists five provinces under the Hovd timezone. My understanding is that it should be only the three provinces mentioned above. Could you please advise on the process for requesting a correction in tzdata? Are there any specific requirements we need to meet? Also, please let me know if my understanding of the timezone coverage is incorrect. Thank you for your time and support.
