Mike Heffner is not on the time zone mailing list; direct replies appropriately.

FW: Tonga Daylight Savings Time ENDS...
by Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) Feb. 22, 2003

Feb. 22, 2003

Pulu 'Anau has been added to the time zone mailing list at Pulu's request. This message arrived before Pulu's addition to the list. --ado -----Original Message----- From: Pulu 'Anau [mailto:pulu@infotech.afe.to] Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2002 4:43 PM To: tz(a)lecserver.nci.nih.gov Subject: Tonga Daylight Savings Time ENDS... Hi, I'm a system administrator in a country that thinks it's funny to constantly play around with the time. To keep the story short, Tonga decided to create daylight savings time to get a jump on everyone for the new millenium. The law was for 3 years, supposedly to get renewed. It wasn't. Unfortunately, a good number of the systems I maintain (Debian Linux and OpenBSD) would like to believe the government here is reasonable and doesn't play around with stuff like this. Ha! Anyway, when they implemented daylight savings it took me a few hours to find the zone files and recompile them, and I don't think the changes were officially reflected (at least in Debian) for about a year. I don't really know where else to report this, but considering the vast amount of history that's already available in the data files, I hope this mailing list will work. I've modified the australasia file from the data file as below. I'm not a zic expert so I hope it's appropriate. It fixed the issue here, anyway. Also, in the compiled file that was pre-existing on this system (Debian 3.0), the file for Tongatapu had a bunch of junk in it, basically a help file for vi and some other binary data after the zoneinfo... I don't know if it's a debian thing or not, I'm not near the openbsd machines to take a look at them... Just FYI... If this file is going to explode on me at some later date, I'd really appreciate if someone could write back and let me know. Some of my customers rely on this information to do some dialup internet/mail stuff, and explaining they ought to complain to the government doesn't work because most of them are the government.

I-D in IETF WG last call
by Robert Elz Feb. 19, 2003

Feb. 19, 2003

The following IETF I-D is currently in its working group last call. draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-opt-timeconfig-01.txt Since it is concerned with timezone configuration (as well as NTP server config, which would be of less interest probably) people here may want to review it. The mailing list for comments is dhcwg(a)ietf.org See https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dhcwg for mailing list info. kre

tzcode license clarification?
by Todd C. Miller Feb. 14, 2003

Feb. 14, 2003

OpenBSD is doing a license audit and it seems there are parts of the tzcode package that lack a license/copyright notice. Some files are derived from BSD code and feature a Berkeley licesnse, others are explicitly placed in the public domain, but some have no license/copyright info. The files we are concerned about are: o ctime.3 o ialloc.c o scheck.c o newtzset.3 o zdump.8 o zdump.c o zic.8 o zic.c Thanks in advance for looking into this. - todd

Change in Pakistan TZ rules?
by Jesper Nørgaard Feb. 10, 2003

Feb. 10, 2003

I have tried for some time to check the TZ database on ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2002d.tar.gz but neither this nor /pub/ or /pub/tz/ gives any result. Is there an alternative address? I presume that 2002d is still the latest official version. Steffen Thorsen on http://www.timeanddate.com has Pakistan to end DST in 2003 at Sunday the 5.th. of October instead of 15.th. October as TZ database ver. 2002d will have it. Is that an official change? I believe that in 2002 Rives McDow had the transition time in October originally to be October 6, 2002. However, that is of course less relevant if we had an authoritative source on how it will be in 2003.
