proposed time zone package changes (Samoa, Factory, et al.)
by Arthur David Olson 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

Below find proposed time zone package changes; the executive summary: * Makefile Change LOCALTIME default from "Factory" to "GMT"; do not compile "factory" file (but keep it in the distribution). * Theory Remove reference to "Factory" zone. * australasia Change end of DST in Samoa in 2011 from 2011-04-03 0:00 to 2011-04-03 1:00 (thanks to Raymond Hughes for a reference). * localtime.c Initialize ttinfo structures filled by tzparse (thanks to Ravindra for reporting a valgrind warning). * zic.c Fix generation of POSIX strings for zones with rules using "weekday<=n" forms of dates (thanks to Lei Liu for finding the problem). Also, limit output for non-POSIX-specificable zones defined to follow the same rules every year. (Note that no zones of either of the above types appear in the distribution; these changes cater to add-on zones). If no problems are found, 2010n will appear on 2010-10-25. --ado diff -r -c old/Makefile new/Makefile *** old/Makefile Mon Sep 27 09:24:25 2010 --- new/Makefile Tue Oct 12 12:36:50 2010 *************** *** 1,5 **** # <pre> ! # @(#)Makefile 8.8 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. --- 1,5 ---- # <pre> ! # @(#)Makefile 8.9 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. *************** *** 12,18 **** # make zonenames # to get a list of the values you can use for LOCALTIME. !

zic changes (2/2)
by Arthur David Olson 09 Mar '16

09 Mar '16

And now, the update. These changes arrange things so that binary files include "transition" entries for minimum time values; these entries eliminate localtime guesswork in handling low-valued time stamps. The bad news: binary files grow slightly as a result of these changes. The good news: there are no changes in the output of "zdump -v" applied to before-and-after versions of all the binary files generated by a "make install." Changes are attached and appear in mangled form below; these are relative to the github version of zic.c after the rollback in the earlier message today. @dashdashado 1.2 2805 lines 1.4 2813 lines *** /tmp/,azic.c 2014-05-01 01:51:36.998933800 -0400 --- /tmp/,bzic.c 2014-05-01 01:51:37.092534000 -0400 *************** *** 1480,1493 **** fromi = 0; while (fromi < timecnt && attypes[fromi].at < min_time) ++fromi; - if (isdsts[0] == 0) - while (fromi < timecnt && attypes[fromi].type == 0) - ++fromi; /* handled by default rule */ for ( ; fromi < timecnt; ++fromi) { ! if (toi != 0 && ((attypes[fromi].at + gmtoffs[attypes[toi - 1].type]) <= !

Adding Asia/Beijing timezone into the database
by Daoming Qiu 06 Dec '14

06 Dec '14

"Beijing Time" is the standard time used for China region, so it is very strange that tzdatabase doesn't have timezone called Asia/Beijing. Strongly suggest to add "Asia/Beijing" zone into the database, and its information is very similar with "Asia/Shanghai".
