[PATCH 1/3] zone*.tab: make consistent 'most locations'
by J William Piggott 13 Feb '16

13 Feb '16

modified: zone.tab modified: zone1970.tab The comments (field 4) inconsistently use leading area names. This causes tzselect's output to be mixed: Please select one of the following time zone regions. 1) Buenos Aires (BA, CF) 2) most locations (CB, CC, CN, ER, FM, MN, SE, SF) Please select one of the following time zone regions. 1) Lord Howe Island 2) Macquarie Island 3) Tasmania - most locations The leading name is absent from entries when it would match the chosen country, but sometimes the chosen country is no longer visible. Including the country name doesn't hurt anything and it improves readability.

Hello, As a new contributor to the Time Zone Database, I'd like to know if there is a way to ascertain the status of a submission? Specifically are the following queued for review, under review, rejected ... or? http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2016-January/023085.html http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2016-January/023090.html http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2016-January/023096.html I ask because I have more work to submit, but I do not want to continue stacking patch sets on top of rejected sets. Thank you, Willie
