United States Senate reintroduced Sunshine Protection Act, enabling Permanent DST
by Phake Nick Nov. 14, 2022

Nov. 14, 2022

I don't quite understand the legal text of the bill itself [2], but according to my reading, it seems like the bill will end DST across the entire US by shifting the standard time forward an hour, except in states/territories/area that currently doesn't enact DST, which they can choose to follow the new standard time or old standard time? 1: https://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2021/3/rubio-colleagues-reint… 2: https://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/d34c77c0-acea-4074-bc57-14…

It's related to a portability problem you reported on MS-Windows in response to which in 2018d I committed a patch that introduced RESERVE_STD_EXT_IDS: https://github.com/eggert/tz/commit/24b45243c5210b4196987fdd06e6c288c358a268 When I recently added the randomish filename code to the development version, I neglected to deal with RESERVE_STD_EXT_IDS.

Please give the two patches a try, as I don't use MS-Windows and can't easily test these patches on that platform. > a test run of zdump -v produced way more output than in the last release, the Linux output seems to have become longer too, but maybe this is still under development. That change is intentional, and was caused by this: https://github.com/eggert/tz/commit/ac07b446a3afaa4cb1ae11a91785a201c91f6351 along with some neighboring commits. Thanks for reporting the problems, and I hope the current development version of tzdb addresses the issues you mentioned.

Re: [tz] Change Request: Europe/Kiev to Europe/Kyiv
by John Hawkinson March 18, 2022

March 18, 2022

I do not think we have handled this well; we have not given Victor Perov a good answer. Indeed, to some extent we've made it a "runaround." We can do better. We should take the time to write up a good lengthy explanation of the issues ("boilerplate"), because this a really important issue of concern to many people in the world and the project has indeed thought about it pretty carefully. Dismissing the inquiries because they are repetitive makes it seem like we haven't, and that unnecessarily upsets peopl. Victor Perev: I don't have time for a full write-up right now, but please consult the archives of the tz list (http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/ or perhaps https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Amm.icann.org%2Fpipermail%2Ftz%2F+kyiv which returns 203 results). The tz project is very conservative in its judgment for when the predominant English spelling of a city has changed, and so far the project has judged that Kiev is still preferred. We discussed it when major English newspapers and style guides changed from Kiev to Kyiv last year (prompted by the US presidential impeachment, which lead to a lot of discussion about Kyiv in America), and we will probably continue to discuss it as time goes on. But we've thought about it and discussed it a lot. The answers you got don't explain that, and that means we have not done a good a job as we should have. Sorry about that. In particular, I think Brian Inglis's answer was actually incorrect in a way that really matters ("Kiev is the correct English spelling"). There are multiple correct English spellings. It used to be that Kiev was the only one, but Kyiv is gaining popularity more and more.

Although you cannot do so, we can handle them a little bit better. Please see https://docs.github.com/en/github/building-a-strong-community/creating-a-pu… You can create a template that explains to a would-be pull request submitter than pull requests will be closed and the project uses the mailing list for development discussions. ("I understand that the tz project does not use pull requests on github, and that if I enter a pull request here, it will be closed and I will be directed to send email to tz(a)iana.org.") For the particular case of regular, recurring issues, it may be worth while to keep one of #15, #26, and #27 open and mark the others as a duplicate of it, so that it is easier for newcomers to understand that this issue has been carefully considered and is not a simple oversight. https://github.com/eggert/tz/pulls?q=kiev Also, not to pick on Brian (again), but if the project policy is not to use github pull requests, it's not great to respond to pull requests on their substance, because it bifurcates the discussion and makes it seem like we actually do use pull requests ("except when we don't"). So what seems like a helpful thing may not be. -- jhawk(a)alum.mit.edu John Hawkinson

Italy April 1944 discrepancy between comment and data
by Alois Treindl Oct. 5, 2021

Oct. 5, 2021

For Italy in 1944 zone Europe/Rome there is a discrepancy between the comment and the data. comment: # From Paul Eggert (2016-10-27): # Go with INRiM for DST rules, except as corrected by Inglis for 1944 # for the Kingdom of Italy. This is consistent with Renzo Baldini. # Model Rome's occupation by using C-Eur rules from 1943-09-10 # to 1944-06-04; although Rome was an open city during this period, it # was effectively controlled by Germany. Data for Italy is Rule Italy 1944 only - Apr 2 2:00s 1:00 S Data for C-Eur is: Rule C-Eur 1944 1945 - Apr Mon>=1 2:00s 1:00 S where Mon>=1 in 1944 is April 3. So Rome is NOT following C-Eur. I think the rule for Itay is right, only the comment is misleading.

Historical fix for Tonga
by Tim Parenti Sept. 13, 2021

Sept. 13, 2021

First, a quick clerical patch: 0001, attached, fixes the placement of a comment which got shuffled around in the lead-up to publishing the changes for South Sudan in 2021a. Patch 0003 relates to Tonga, and comes from some of the links P Chan shared to 1957–1963 editions of The Air Almanac: https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2021-February/029866.html On Thu, 25 Feb 2021 at 03:43, P Chan <legco(a)outlook.com> wrote: > 1960 Nov (1962.1-4) > https://books.google.com/books?id=bVgtWM6kPZUC&pg=SL1-PA20 > 1961 Mar (1962.5-8) > https://books.google.com/books?id=W2nItAul4g0C&pg=SL1-PA20 When looking around at how this data was presented for other regions, I noticed on the preceding pages (listing "Places Fast on GMT", i.e., east of Greenwich) in some of the earlier editions provided that Tonga was listed at GMT+12:20. The peculiar offset stuck out, and I quickly noticed that some of the later editions of the same tables had it at GMT+13. A quick bisection puts the changeover, as far as The Air Almanac contemporaneously reckoned it, between November 1960 and March 1961. Previously, our data had Tonga transitioning to UT+13 in 1941 based on a quotation from a 1997 news article. Although this differs from what the Almanac suggests by some 20 years, the article does mention a change coincident with the New Year, and that Tāufaʻāhau Tupou IV was Crown Prince at the time. As his predecessor and mother, Queen Sālote Tupou III, reigned from 1918-04-05 to 1965-12-16, a possible transition of 1961-01-01 still jives with the gist of the article, even if the specific year was perhaps wrong or just misprinted. For what it's worth, our commentary already noted that Shanks & Pottenger had put the transition even later, at 1968-10-01. Although of course we don't know how they arrived at that date, given that they did, 1961 seems rather less out-of-place than it otherwise might. The attached patch 0003 makes this adjustment, while more fully documenting and comparing the conflicting sources. Thanks again to P Chan for pointing us to these resources. I wasn't expecting to get a "bonus" correction out of it, but one never knows quite what will catch the eye… -- Tim Parenti

[PROPOSED] Avoid backward links in zone.tab
by Paul Eggert June 12, 2021

June 12, 2021

Recent changes caused zone.tab to refer to links defined in the 'backward' file, which means it no longer works in the now-rare case where 'backward' is not used. Fix this by changing zone.tab to refer to the primary name of each zone. * checktab.awk: Adjust to check the new setup. * zone.tab: Replace backward links in the 3rd column with the primary zone names. This lets us fix a longstanding problem with Vietnam, as zone.tab can now have a separate entry for north Vietnam's different time zone history in the 1970s (this was already true of zone1970.tab). --- checktab.awk | 48 +++++++-------- zone.tab | 161 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------- 2 files changed, 105 insertions(+), 104 deletions(-) diff --git a/checktab.awk b/checktab.awk index 54ac0a6..d5317ac 100644 --- a/checktab.awk +++ b/checktab.awk @@ -58,11 +58,12 @@ BEGIN { zone_table, zone_NR >>"/dev/stderr" status = 1 } - split($1, cca, /,/) - cc = cca[1] + ccs = input_ccs[zone_NR] = $1 coordinates = $2 tz = $3 - comments = $4 + comments = input_comments[zone_NR] = $4 + split(ccs, cca, /,/) + cc = cca[1] # Don't complain about a special case for Crimea in zone.tab. # FIXME: zone.tab should be removed, since it is obsolete. @@ -77,12 +78,9 @@ BEGIN { cc0 = cc tz0 = tz tztab[tz] = 1 - tz2comments[tz] = comments tz2NR[tz] = zone_NR for (i in cca) { cc = cca[i] - cctz = cc tz - cctztab[cctz] = 1 if (cc2name[cc]) { cc_used[cc]++ } else { @@ -99,27 +97,27 @@ BEGIN { } } - for (cctz in cctztab) { - cc = substr (cctz, 1, 2) - tz = substr (cctz, 3) - if (1 < cc_used[cc]) { - comments_needed[tz] = cc - } - } - for (cctz in cctztab) { - cc = substr (cctz, 1, 2) - tz = substr (cctz, 3) - if (!comments_needed[tz] && tz2comments[tz]) { + for (i = 1; i <= zone_NR; i++) { + ccs = input_ccs[i] + if (!ccs) continue + comments = input_comments[i] + split(ccs, cca, /,/) + used_max = 0 + for (j in cca) { + cc = cca[j] + if (used_max < cc_used[cc]) { + used_max = cc_used[cc] + } + } + if (used_max <= 1 && comments) { printf "%s:%d: unnecessary comment '%s'\n", \ - zone_table, tz2NR[tz], tz2comments[tz] \ - >>"/dev/stderr" - tz2comments[tz] = 0 + zone_table, i, comments \ + >>"/dev/stderr" status = 1 - } else if (comments_needed[tz] && !tz2comments[tz]) { + } else if (1 < cc_used[cc] && !comments) { printf "%s:%d: missing comment for %s\n", \ - zone_table, tz2NR[tz], comments_needed[tz] \ + zone_table, i, cc \ >>"/dev/stderr" - tz2comments[tz] = 1 status = 1 } } @@ -172,14 +170,12 @@ END { status = 1 } } - if (zone_table != "zone.tab") { - for (tz in tztab) { + for (tz in tztab) { if (!zoneSeen[tz]) { printf "%s:%d: no Zone table for '%s'\n", \ zone_table, tz2NR[tz], tz >>"/dev/stderr" status = 1 } - } } if (0 < want_warnings) { for (cc in cc2name) { diff --git a/zone.tab b/zone.tab index 14fceb9..fe53f0a 100644 --- a/zone.tab +++ b/zone.tab @@ -16,6 +16,10 @@ # clocks have agreed since 1970; this is a narrower definition than # that of zone1970.tab. # +# Unlike zone1970.tab, this file's third column can contain duplicates, +# and a row's third column does not necessarily name a location within +# the country identified by the row's first column. +# # This table is intended as an aid for users, to help them select timezones # appropriate for their practical needs.

I see where you're coming from, but that's not the goal here. I didn't want to invent a preprocessor for zic, creating technology that would have to be documented and supported and have backwards-compatibility problems of its own. The vanguard/main/rearguard stuff is just a hopefully-temporary hack that, once it evaporates, will require zero maintenance. By the way, is anybody still using rearguard format? If not, perhaps it's time to retire this stuff now. (That would save us all the hassle of conversations like this one. :-)
