Re: [tz] Regarding new Time Zone and DST for Chile 2016 - Possible corrections on tzdata2016c.tar.gz

Hello all, Regarding the last Time Zone Data, two possible corrections could be applied for Chile rules (southamerica file) 1. Rules are pointed to Zone America/Santiago and Pacific/Easter. But it missing the links to Chile/Continental and Chile/EasterIsland. We tested in a Solaris 10 server with TZ=Chile/Continental and the new rules were not applied. So the following two lines should be applied at the end of Chile section: Link America/Santiago Chile/Continental Link Pacific/Easter Chile/EasterIsland 2. The following suggestion is about how it is defined the Time Zone for Chile and if it applies DST or not. This change is to keep an accurate time zone defined, CLT or CLST, this year. Before May 15th the Time Zone is CLT (UTC -3). If we applied the new rules now, the time zone will be CLST (UTC -3) until May 15th. The time will be fine, but the timezone is not ok. My suggestion is to add the following lines marked in green in the Zone section: # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone America/Santiago -4:42:46 - LMT 1890 -4:42:46 - SMT 1910 Jan 10 # Santiago Mean Time -5:00 - CLT 1916 Jul 1 # Chile Time -4:42:46 - SMT 1918 Sep 10 -4:00 - CLT 1919 Jul 1 -4:42:46 - SMT 1927 Sep 1 -5:00 Chile CL%sT 1932 Sep 1 -4:00 - CLT 1942 Jun 1 -5:00 - CLT 1942 Aug 1 -4:00 - CLT 1946 Jul 15 -4:00 1:00 CLST 1946 Sep 1 # central Chile -4:00 - CLT 1947 Apr 1 -5:00 - CLT 1947 May 21 23:00 -4:00 Chile CL%sT 2015 Apr 26 3:00u -3:00 - CLT 2016 May 15 3:00u -4:00 Chile CL%sT Zone Pacific/Easter -7:17:28 - LMT 1890 -7:17:28 - EMT 1932 Sep # Easter Mean Time -7:00 Chile EAS%sT 1982 Mar 14 3:00u # Easter Time -6:00 Chile EAS%sT 2015 Apr 26 3:00u -5:00 - EAST 2016 May 15 3:00u -6:00 Chile EAS%sT Regards, Carlos Huenchullán

2016c on illumos - problems with new Russia entries
by Dan McDonald April 8, 2016

April 8, 2016

I was about to bump TZ on illumos (the open-source inheritor of what was OpenSolaris) but I encountered these when building: "europe", line 2551: warning: time zone abbreviation differs from POSIX standard (+03) "europe", line 2552: warning: time zone abbreviation differs from POSIX standard (+05) (rule from "europe", line 599) "europe", line 2552: warning: time zone abbreviation differs from POSIX standard (+04) (rule from "europe", line 600) "europe", line 2627: warning: time zone abbreviation differs from POSIX standard (+03) "europe", line 2628: warning: time zone abbreviation differs from POSIX standard (+05) (rule from "europe", line 599) "europe", line 2628: warning: time zone abbreviation differs from POSIX standard (+04) (rule from "europe", line 600) "europe", line 2630: warning: time zone abbreviation differs from POSIX standard (+02) (rule from "europe", line 603) "europe", line 2711: warning: time zone abbreviation differs from POSIX standard (+06) "europe", line 2712: warning: time zone abbreviation differs from POSIX standard (+08) (rule from "europe", line 599) "europe", line 2712: warning: time zone abbreviation differs from POSIX standard (+07) (rule from "europe", line 600) Now it is possible that the zic(1) utility for illumos needs some updating. OTOH, I've never had a problem until this specific update. The entries in question are (with markings): Zone Europe/Astrakhan 3:12:12 - LMT 1924 May **HERE*** 3:00 - +03 1930 Jun 21 **HERE*** 4:00 Russia +04/+05 1989 Mar 26 2:00s 3:00 Russia +03/+04 1991 Mar 31 2:00s 4:00 - +04 1992 Mar 29 2:00s 3:00 Russia +03/+04 2011 Mar 27 2:00s 4:00 - +04 2014 Oct 26 2:00s 3:00 - +03 2016 Mar 27 2:00s 4:00 - +04 Zone Europe/Ulyanovsk 3:13:36 - LMT 1919 Jul 1 2:00 **HERE*** 3:00 - +03 1930 Jun 21 **HERE*** 4:00 Russia +04/+05 1989 Mar 26 2:00s 3:00 Russia +03/+04 1991 Mar 31 2:00s **HERE*** 2:00 Russia +02/+03 1992 Jan 19 2:00s 3:00 Russia +03/+04 2011 Mar 27 2:00s 4:00 - +04 2014 Oct 26 2:00s 3:00 - +03 2016 Mar 27 2:00s 4:00 - +04 Zone Asia/Barnaul 5:35:00 - LMT 1919 Dec 10 **HERE*** 6:00 - +06 1930 Jun 21 **HERE*** 7:00 Russia +07/+08 1991 Mar 31 2:00s 6:00 Russia +06/+07 1992 Jan 19 2:00s 7:00 Russia +07/+08 1995 May 28 6:00 Russia +06/+07 2011 Mar 27 2:00s 7:00 - +07 2014 Oct 26 2:00s 6:00 - +06 2016 Mar 27 2:00s 7:00 - +07 I checked the mailing list archives quickly, but didn't see anything about Astrakhan, so I figured nobody else has seen this yet. I'm no expert in these... I just happen to update the illumos ones for the community every time my distro (OmniOS) gets ready to ship an update. Thanks, Dan McDonald -- OmniOS Engineering

Fwd: Mistake in Time Zone name!
by Bogdan Denkovych April 1, 2016

April 1, 2016

I see mistake in Time Zone name 'Europe/Kiev'. Must be 'Europe/Kyiv'. Word 'Kiev' translated from Russian language, this is not correct for Ukrainian. 'Kyiv' is correct! It is translated from Ukrainian language. it limits/mocks for the Ukrainian language and people. Could you please change it? thanks! - Bogdan bogdanvlviv(a)gmail.com
