Update URL for 2000/84/EC directive governing current EU DST

The 'europe' file in tzdata-2009i has this link: # The most recent directive covers the years starting in 2002.

According to various news reports Bolivia is considering to change Time Zone from GMT-04 to GMT-05 in the winter 2009/2010 to prevent the spread of colds and the new seasonal influenza A strain H1N1. It would be the first time in Bolivian history that changes the time zone.

proposed time zone package change for Bangladesh
by Arthur David Olson June 17, 2009

June 17, 2009

First a note that tzdata2009i.tar.gz does seem to do the expected thing here on the mother system: Script started on Mon Jun 15 06:34:58 2009 lecserver$ ./zdump -v Asia/Dhaka | grep 2009 Asia/Dhaka Fri Jun 19 17:59:59 2009 UTC = Fri Jun 19 23:59:59 2009 BDT isdst=0 Asia/Dhaka Fri Jun 19 18:00:00 2009 UTC = Sat Jun 20 01:00:00 2009 BDST isdst=1 lecserver$ exit script done on Mon Jun 15 06:35:15 2009 However, given this morning's note about DST starting at 23:00... Finally we've got the official mail regarding DST start time where DST start time is mentioned as Jun 19 2009, 23:00 from BTRC (Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission). No DST end date has been announced yet. ...and as a way to both simplify the change and avoid glitches, below find a proposed change to the "asia" file. Feedback both on the usefulness of the change and when to push it is welcome. --ado ------- asia ------- *** /tmp/geta26023 Mon Jun 15 06:44:15 2009 --- /tmp/getb26023 Mon Jun 15 06:44:15 2009 *************** *** 1,5 **** # <pre> ! # @(#)asia 8.34 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. --- 1,5 ---- # <pre> ! # @(#)asia 8.35 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. *************** *** 165,173 **** # http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/bangladesh-daylight-saving-2009.html # </a> ! # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S !

Time zone references in art
by Dave Cantor June 16, 2009

June 16, 2009

A possible addition to tz-art.htm : In the 1946 "A Matter of Life and Death", there is a reference to British Double Summer Time. The time does not play a large part in the plot; it's just a passing reference to the time when one of the characters was supposed to have died (but didn't). The IMDb page is at http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0038733/ Dave Cantor Groton, CT
