proposed tz change for Latvia, Lithuania
by Paul Eggert May 25, 2015

May 25, 2015

It's March Madness time for daylight-saving rule changes. Here's a proposed change to the tz database to keep up with the latest political development, which affects time stamps starting March 29: * Latvia and Lithuania will not observe DST, starting this year. Thanks to Andrei Ivanov for this info. =================================================================== RCS file: RCS/europe,v retrieving revision 2000.3 retrieving revision 2000.3.0.1 diff -pu -r2000.3 -r2000.3.0.1 --- europe 2000/03/04 15:31:08 2000.3 +++ europe 2000/03/08 17:48:59 2000.3.0.1 @@ -1135,6 +1135,12 @@ Link Europe/Rome Europe/San_Marino # 1997-01-21 on transition to Summer time ... established the same order of # daylight savings time settings as in the States of the European Union. +# From Andrei Ivanov (2000-03-06): +# This year Latvia will not switch to Daylight Savings Time (as specified in +# <a href="http://www.lv-laiks.lv/wwwraksti/2000/071072/vd4.htm"> +# The Regulations of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Rep. of Latvia of +# 29-Feb-2000 (#79)</a>, in Latvian for subscribers only). + # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S Rule Latvia 1989 1996 - Mar lastSun 2:00s 1:00 S Rule Latvia 1989 1996 - Sep lastSun 2:00s 0 - @@ -1151,7 +1157,8 @@ Zone Europe/Riga 1:36:24 - LMT 1880 3:00 Russia MSK/MSD 1989 Mar lastSun 2:00s 2:00 1:00 EEST 1989 Sep lastSun 2:00s 2:00 Latvia EE%sT 1997 Jan 21 - 2:00 EU EE%sT + 2:00 EU EE%sT 2000 Feb 29 + 2:00 - EET # Liechtenstein # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] @@ -1178,6 +1185,11 @@ Zone Europe/Vaduz 0:38:04 - LMT 1894 Jun # motion to give up shifting to summer time in spring, as it was # already done by Estonia. +# From Andrei Ivanov (2000-03-06): +# I've heard that Ministers of three Baltic countries on their summit +# somewhere in February decided not to switch to summer time starting from +# this spring. + # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Europe/Vilnius 1:41:16 - LMT 1880 1:24:00 - WMT 1917 # Warsaw Mean Time @@ -1192,7 +1204,8 @@ Zone Europe/Vilnius 1:41:16 - LMT 1880 2:00 C-Eur EE%sT 1998 2:00 - EET 1998 Mar 29 1:00u 1:00 EU CE%sT 1999 Oct 31 1:00u - 2:00 EU EE%sT + 2:00 EU EE%sT 2000 Feb + 2:00 - EET # Luxembourg # Whitman disagrees with most of these dates in minor ways; go with Shanks.

Australia - Broken Hill - Yancowinna
by Oscar van Vlijmen Dec. 15, 2006

Dec. 15, 2006

Broken Hill, or more precise, the whole county of Yancowinna, differs from the rest of New South Wales, as clearly stated in the TZ database. Problem is: what is the "county of Yancowinna"? The Australian Standard Time Act 1987 mentions this county, but doesn't mention the county boundaries. Once they were known, but they have disappeared from recent maps. Finally I found a scan of an old map from the Land Registry, showing the Yancowinna county. Found on the website of The Sydney Morning Herald: <http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/08/29/1062050651816.html?oneclick=true> Click on field number 2 or download the map directly: <http://www.smh.com.au/specials/leases/pdf/map2.pdf> The following places are within the county boundaries: Broken Hill, The Gorge, Mount Gipps, Silverton, Stephens Creek, Wahratta, Yanco Glen. The name "Wahratta" is not perfectly readable from the map, but I've checked the name and location against the Australia file from the GEOnet Names Server <http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/> Oscar van Vlijmen 2005-04-23

proposed changes to zdump.c and systemv
by Arthur David Olson Nov. 29, 2005

Nov. 29, 2005

Below find proposed changes to zdump.c to eliminate some lint and to remove an electronic mail address (in our current age of address hunting-and-abusing software; more address elimination is to follow). Also find changes to systemv; the file is left in place, but without any active "Zone" lines so now binary data is generated. I've uncommented the "Rule" lines to provide a continuing check of their validity (in case the input accepted by "zic" changes) and to minimize the changes needed should someone actually want to generate System V time zone files. --ado ------- zdump.c ------- *** /tmp/geta62 Tue Nov 29 11:21:35 2005 --- /tmp/getb62 Tue Nov 29 11:21:35 2005 *************** *** 1,4 **** ! static char elsieid[] = "@(#)zdump.c 7.68"; /* ** This code has been made independent of the rest of the time --- 1,4 ---- ! static char elsieid[] = "@(#)zdump.c 7.69"; /* ** This code has been made independent of the rest of the time *************** *** 12,17 **** --- 12,21 ---- #include "time.h" /* for struct tm */ #include "stdlib.h" /* for exit, malloc, atoi */ #include "float.h" /* for FLT_MAX and DBL_MAX */ + #include "ctype.h" /* for isalpha et al. */ + #ifndef isascii + #define isascii(x) 1 + #endif #ifndef ZDUMP_LO_YEAR #define ZDUMP_LO_YEAR (-500) *************** *** 205,211 **** return; cp = abbrp; wp = NULL; ! while (isascii(*cp) && isalpha(*cp)) ++cp; if (cp - abbrp == 0) wp = _("lacks alphabetic at start"); --- 209,215 ---- return; cp = abbrp; wp = NULL; ! while (isascii((int) *cp) && isalpha((int) *cp)) ++cp; if (cp - abbrp == 0) wp = _("lacks alphabetic at start"); *************** *** 215,221 **** wp = _("has more than 6 alphabetics"); if (wp == NULL && (*cp == '+' || *cp == '-')) { ++cp; ! if (isascii(*cp) && isdigit(*cp)) if (*cp++ == '1' && *cp >= '0' && *cp <= '4') ++cp; } --- 219,225 ---- wp = _("has more than 6 alphabetics"); if (wp == NULL && (*cp == '+' || *cp == '-')) { ++cp; ! if (isascii((int) *cp) && isdigit((int) *cp)) if (*cp++ == '1' && *cp >= '0' && *cp <= '4') ++cp; } *************** *** 509,515 **** } /* ! ** Thanks to Paul Eggert (eggert(a)twinsun.com) for logic used in delta. */ static long --- 513,519 ---- } /* ! ** Thanks to Paul Eggert for logic used in delta. */ static long ------- systemv ------- *** /tmp/geta119 Tue Nov 29 11:22:22 2005 --- /tmp/getb119 Tue Nov 29 11:22:22 2005 *************** *** 1,4 **** ! # @(#)systemv 7.3 # Old rules, should the need arise. # No attempt is made to handle Newfoundland, since it cannot be expressed --- 1,4 ---- ! # @(#)systemv 7.4 # Old rules, should the need arise. # No attempt is made to handle Newfoundland, since it cannot be expressed *************** *** 7,24 **** # the change in the DST rules in the US in 1987 (which occurred before # the old rules were written). # ! # If you need the old rules, uncomment ## lines and comment-out Link lines. # Compile this *without* leap second correction for true conformance. # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S ! ## Rule SystemV min 1973 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D ! ## Rule SystemV min 1973 - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S ! ## Rule SystemV 1974 only - Jan 6 2:00 1:00 D ! ## Rule SystemV 1974 only - Nov lastSun 2:00 0 S ! ## Rule SystemV 1975 only - Feb 23 2:00 1:00 D ! ## Rule SystemV 1975 only - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S ! ## Rule SystemV 1976 max - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D ! ## Rule SystemV 1976 max - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES/SAVE FORMAT [UNTIL] ## Zone SystemV/AST4ADT -4:00 SystemV A%sT --- 7,24 ---- # the change in the DST rules in the US in 1987 (which occurred before # the old rules were written). # ! # If you need the old rules, uncomment ## lines. # Compile this *without* leap second correction for true conformance. # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S !

New US DST rules versus federal elections (with prediction)
by Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) Nov. 28, 2005

Nov. 28, 2005

An oddity of the new US DST rules: in most federal election years the switch back to standard time comes before the federal election, but in years when the seventh of November falls on a Sunday, the switch back comes after the federal election (see below). Operating under the assumptions that (all other things being equal) voter turnout is greater when DST is in effect, and given that in recent years Democrats have been more eager than Republicans for increased voter turnout, I predict a change in the rules once the implication sinks in (possibly before the 2010 elections). --ado America/New_York Sun Nov 2 06:00:00 2008 UTC = Sun Nov 2 01:00:00 2008 EST isdst=0 before presidential America/New_York Sun Nov 7 06:00:00 2010 UTC = Sun Nov 7 01:00:00 2010 EST isdst=0 after off-year America/New_York Sun Nov 4 06:00:00 2012 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:00:00 2012 EST isdst=0 before presidential America/New_York Sun Nov 2 06:00:00 2014 UTC = Sun Nov 2 01:00:00 2014 EST isdst=0 before off-year America/New_York Sun Nov 6 06:00:00 2016 UTC = Sun Nov 6 01:00:00 2016 EST isdst=0 before presidential America/New_York Sun Nov 4 06:00:00 2018 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:00:00 2018 EST isdst=0 before off-year America/New_York Sun Nov 1 06:00:00 2020 UTC = Sun Nov 1 01:00:00 2020 EST isdst=0 before presidential America/New_York Sun Nov 6 06:00:00 2022 UTC = Sun Nov 6 01:00:00 2022 EST isdst=0 before off-year America/New_York Sun Nov 3 06:00:00 2024 UTC = Sun Nov 3 01:00:00 2024 EST isdst=0 before presidential America/New_York Sun Nov 1 06:00:00 2026 UTC = Sun Nov 1 01:00:00 2026 EST isdst=0 before off-year America/New_York Sun Nov 5 06:00:00 2028 UTC = Sun Nov 5 01:00:00 2028 EST isdst=0 before presidential America/New_York Sun Nov 3 06:00:00 2030 UTC = Sun Nov 3 01:00:00 2030 EST isdst=0 before off-year America/New_York Sun Nov 7 06:00:00 2032 UTC = Sun Nov 7 01:00:00 2032 EST isdst=0 after presidential America/New_York Sun Nov 5 06:00:00 2034 UTC = Sun Nov 5 01:00:00 2034 EST isdst=0 before off-year America/New_York Sun Nov 2 06:00:00 2036 UTC = Sun Nov 2 01:00:00 2036 EST isdst=0 before presidential

RE: proposed tz changes (zdump.c, backward, and systemv)
by Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) Nov. 22, 2005

Nov. 22, 2005

I'll hold off on changing backward and systemv in the upcoming Monday distribution; it's important to get other changes out at that point since some of them effect current clocks. The best approach to take on the systemv stuff may be to simply eliminate it from the distribution. The systemv stuff was included way back in 1986 when System V was still relevant; twenty years later it can presumably be dispensed with. On the backward side: a characteristic of the time zone compiler is that it doesn't clear out the destination directory before putting results there, so existing files remain unless they're replaced. Further, if a binary file exists with a name that matches that of the TZ environment variable, the data in the binary file is used even if the TZ value is something such as "EST5EDT". So we do want to generate binary files for EST5EDT et al. to ensure that no bad data remains in the destination directory. To avoid having US rules in both "northamerica" and "backward" (introducing the possibility that the rules get out of sync), we could put the "Zone EST5EDT ..." stuff in the northamerica file (where the US rules currently appear). If we do end up with two copies of the US rules, we'll want to make sure that there's a comment with each copy indicating the need to keep it in sync with the other copy. --ado

It's more conservative, in that it doesn't create any new names; also, it addresses the other issues mentioned above. =================================================================== RCS file: RCS/backward,v retrieving revision 2005.13 retrieving revision 2005.13.0.2 diff -pu -r2005.13 -r2005.13.0.2 --- backward 2005/08/29 15:54:31 2005.13 +++ backward 2005/11/21 20:35:28 2005.13.0.2 @@ -42,7 +42,7 @@ Link America/Rio_Branco Brazil/Acre Link America/Noronha Brazil/DeNoronha Link America/Sao_Paulo Brazil/East Link America/Manaus Brazil/West -Link America/Chicago CST6CDT +Link SystemV/CST6CDT CST6CDT Link America/Halifax Canada/Atlantic Link America/Winnipeg Canada/Central Link America/Regina Canada/East-Saskatchewan @@ -55,8 +55,8 @@ Link America/Whitehorse Canada/Yukon Link America/Santiago Chile/Continental Link Pacific/Easter Chile/EasterIsland Link America/Havana Cuba -Link America/Panama EST -Link America/New_York EST5EDT +Link SystemV/EST5 EST +Link SystemV/EST5EDT EST5EDT Link Africa/Cairo Egypt Link Europe/Dublin Eire Link Europe/London Europe/Belfast @@ -67,7 +67,7 @@ Link Etc/GMT GMT+0 Link Etc/GMT GMT-0 Link Etc/GMT GMT0 Link Etc/GMT Greenwich -Link Pacific/Honolulu HST +Link SystemV/HST10 HST Link Asia/Hong_Kong Hongkong Link Atlantic/Reykjavik Iceland Link Asia/Tehran Iran @@ -76,8 +76,8 @@ Link America/Jamaica Jamaica Link Asia/Tokyo Japan Link Pacific/Kwajalein Kwajalein Link Africa/Tripoli Libya -Link America/Phoenix MST -Link America/Denver MST7MDT +Link SystemV/MST7 MST +Link SystemV/MST7MDT MST7MDT Link America/Tijuana Mexico/BajaNorte Link America/Mazatlan Mexico/BajaSur Link America/Mexico_City Mexico/General @@ -85,7 +85,7 @@ Link Pacific/Auckland NZ Link Pacific/Chatham NZ-CHAT Link America/Denver Navajo Link Asia/Shanghai PRC -Link America/Los_Angeles PST8PDT +Link SystemV/PST8PDT PST8PDT Link Pacific/Pago_Pago Pacific/Samoa Link Pacific/Truk Pacific/Yap Link Europe/Warsaw Poland =================================================================== RCS file: RCS/systemv,v retrieving revision 2001.1.0.2 retrieving revision 2001.1.0.2.0.2 diff -pu -r2001.1.0.2 -r2001.1.0.2.0.2 --- systemv 2005/10/04 04:31:57 2001.1.0.2 +++ systemv 2005/11/21 20:35:28 2001.1.0.2.0.2 @@ -7,7 +7,8 @@ # the changes in the DST rules in the US after 1976 (which occurred after # the old rules were written). # -# If you need the old rules, uncomment ## lines and comment-out Link lines. +# If you need the old rules, uncomment ## lines and # comment-out lines +at the end of the file. # Compile this *without* leap second correction for true conformance. # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S @@ -34,17 +35,36 @@ ## Zone SystemV/PST8 -8:00 - PST ## Zone SystemV/YST9 -9:00 - YST ## Zone SystemV/HST10 -10:00 - HST -# For now... -Link America/Halifax SystemV/AST4ADT -Link America/New_York SystemV/EST5EDT -Link America/Chicago SystemV/CST6CDT -Link America/Denver SystemV/MST7MDT -Link America/Los_Angeles SystemV/PST8PDT -Link America/Anchorage SystemV/YST9YDT -Link America/Puerto_Rico SystemV/AST4 -Link America/Panama SystemV/EST5 -Link America/Regina SystemV/CST6 -Link America/Phoenix SystemV/MST7 -Link Pacific/Pitcairn SystemV/PST8 -Link Pacific/Gambier SystemV/YST9 -Link Pacific/Honolulu SystemV/HST10 + +# A copy of the US rules from 'northamerica'. +# The copy is so that 'systemv' can be compiled independently. +# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S +Rule US-sysv 1918 1919 - Mar lastSun 2:00 1:00 D +Rule US-sysv 1918 1919 - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S +Rule US-sysv 1942 only - Feb 9 2:00 1:00 W # War +Rule US-sysv 1945 only - Aug 14 23:00u 1:00 P # Peace +Rule US-sysv 1945 only - Sep 30 2:00 0 S +Rule US-sysv 1967 2006 - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S +Rule US-sysv 1967 1973 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D +Rule US-sysv 1974 only - Jan 6 2:00 1:00 D +Rule US-sysv 1975 only - Feb 23 2:00 1:00 D +Rule US-sysv 1976 1986 - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 D +Rule US-sysv 1987 2006 - Apr Sun>=1 2:00 1:00 D +Rule US-sysv 2007 max - Mar Sun>=8 2:00 1:00 D +Rule US-sysv 2007 max - Nov Sun>=1 2:00 0 S + +# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT +Zone SystemV/AST4 -4:00 - AST +Zone SystemV/EST5 -5:00 - EST +Zone SystemV/CST6 -6:00 - CST +Zone SystemV/MST7 -7:00 - MST +Zone SystemV/PST8 -8:00 - PST +Zone SystemV/YST9 -9:00 - YST +Zone SystemV/HST10 -10:00 - HST + +Zone SystemV/AST4ADT -4:00 US-sysv A%sT +Zone SystemV/EST5EDT -5:00 US-sysv E%sT +Zone SystemV/CST6CDT -6:00 US-sysv C%sT +Zone SystemV/MST7MDT -7:00 US-sysv M%sT +Zone SystemV/PST8PDT -8:00 US-sysv P%sT +Zone SystemV/YST9YDT -9:00 US-sysv Y%sT

proposed tz changes (zdump.c, backward, and systemv)
by Arthur David Olson Nov. 21, 2005

Nov. 21, 2005

Here are proposed changes to three files: to zdump.c (allowing internationalization of one message and cleaning up some name-shadowing lint); and backward and systemv (creating distinct binary files for old-style names rather than linking them to particular geographic areas that might change rules). I'll let both these proposals and Paul Eggert's proposals (circulated on the list this last Friday) to cook over Thanksgiving; barring objections, I'll propogate them to the ftp server next Monday. --ado ------- zdump.c ------- *** /tmp/geta22604 Mon Nov 21 11:04:39 2005 --- /tmp/getb22604 Mon Nov 21 11:04:39 2005 *************** *** 1,4 **** ! static char elsieid[] = "@(#)zdump.c 7.66"; /* ** This code has been made independent of the rest of the time --- 1,4 ---- ! static char elsieid[] = "@(#)zdump.c 7.68"; /* ** This code has been made independent of the rest of the time *************** *** 147,153 **** static int warned; static char * abbr P((struct tm * tmp)); ! static void abbrok P((const char * abbr, const char * zone)); static long delta P((struct tm * newp, struct tm * oldp)); static void dumptime P((const struct tm * tmp)); static time_t hunt P((char * name, time_t lot, time_t hit)); --- 147,153 ---- static int warned; static char * abbr P((struct tm * tmp)); ! static void abbrok P((const char * abbrp, const char * zone)); static long delta P((struct tm * newp, struct tm * oldp)); static void dumptime P((const struct tm * tmp)); static time_t hunt P((char * name, time_t lot, time_t hit)); *************** *** 194,201 **** #endif /* !defined TYPECHECK */ static void ! abbrok(abbr, zone) ! const char * const abbr; const char * const zone; { register const char * cp; --- 194,201 ---- #endif /* !defined TYPECHECK */ static void ! abbrok(abbrp, zone) ! const char * const abbrp; const char * const zone; { register const char * cp; *************** *** 203,217 **** if (warned) return; ! cp = abbr; wp = NULL; while (isascii(*cp) && isalpha(*cp)) ++cp; ! if (cp - abbr == 0) wp = _("lacks alphabetic at start"); ! if (cp - abbr < 3) wp = _("has fewer than 3 alphabetics"); ! if (cp - abbr > 6) wp = _("has more than 6 alphabetics"); if (wp == NULL && (*cp == '+' || *cp == '-')) { ++cp; --- 203,217 ---- if (warned) return; ! cp = abbrp; wp = NULL; while (isascii(*cp) && isalpha(*cp)) ++cp; ! if (cp - abbrp == 0) wp = _("lacks alphabetic at start"); ! if (cp - abbrp < 3) wp = _("has fewer than 3 alphabetics"); ! if (cp - abbrp > 6) wp = _("has more than 6 alphabetics"); if (wp == NULL && (*cp == '+' || *cp == '-')) { ++cp; *************** *** 225,232 **** return; (void) fflush(stdout); (void) fprintf(stderr, !
