Buggy %z behaviour in strftime
by Almaz Mingaleev May 16, 2023

May 16, 2023

Attached code prints "+0000 America/Los_Angeles" both with glibc and with linked ToT strftime implementation. On MacOs it prints "-0800 America/Los_Angeles". Is it a known issue?

Paraguay on its way to stay on DST
by Carlos Raúl Perasso March 2, 2023

March 2, 2023

On September 28, the Paraguayan Chamber of Deputies approved a bill that eliminates winter time in Paraguay. This would make Paraguay stay in DST throughout the year. The project was sent to the Senate for approval. After this, it could still have the presidential veto. If successful, the law would take effect after this weekend's time change, so the new rule should read as follows: Rule Para 2010 2022 - Oct Sun>=1 0:00 1:00 - Rule Para 2013 2022 - Mar Sun>=22 0:00 0 - I will keep you informed of the progress of the bill. Saludos, Carlos

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…

Mexico on track to abolish DST
by Paul Eggert Nov. 3, 2022

Nov. 3, 2022

Yesterday Mexico's Chamber of Deputies voted 445–33 to abolish DST in most of Mexico, and although there are more hurdles I expect this to become law. When that happens, I hope the following simple patch will suffice; it merely changes "max" to "2022" in the last two Mexico Rule lines. We'll also need to add commentary citing the law, etc., but you can try this patch now if you like, to debug any applications involving future time in Mexico. Today timeanddate updated their English-language summary of this <https://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/mexico-remove-dst-2022.html>. I haven't installed the following. diff --git a/northamerica b/northamerica index da84f354..2466d627 100644 --- a/northamerica +++ b/northamerica @@ -2634,2 +2634,2 @@ Rule Mexico 2001 only - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 S -Rule Mexico 2002 max - Apr Sun>=1 2:00 1:00 D -Rule Mexico 2002 max - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S +Rule Mexico 2002 2022 - Apr Sun>=1 2:00 1:00 D +Rule Mexico 2002 2022 - Oct lastSun 2:00 0 S

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. The second attached patch should fix this issue. 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.

Errors compiling 2022f on macOS
by Gilmore Davidson Oct. 31, 2022

Oct. 31, 2022

Hi, I’m getting errors when running make on the 2022f release, on my macOS Monterrey (12.6.1) machine. There are two separate errors. When I run `make` with no arguments, I get the following: cc -DTZDIR='"/usr/share/zoneinfo"' -c -o zic.o zic.c zic.c:1194:11: error: implicit declaration of function 'getrandom' is invalid in C99 [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration] s = getrandom(entropy_buffer, sizeof entropy_buffer, 0); ^ 1 error generated. After some digging, I tried running `make CFLAGS="-DHAVE_GETRANDOM=0”`, which then presents a different error: cc -DTZDIR='"/usr/share/zoneinfo"' -o zic -DHAVE_GETRANDOM=0 zic.o Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "_libintl_gettext", referenced from: _main in zic.o _close_file in zic.o _usage in zic.o _warning in zic.o _infile in zic.o _adjleap in zic.o _associate in zic.o ... "_libintl_setlocale", referenced from: _main in zic.o "_libintl_textdomain", referenced from: _main in zic.o ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) I’m not a C programmer so I’m out of my depth with trying to diagnose workarounds. Possibly there’s just another CFLAGS argument I need to provide, or I’ve got something else weird in my environment? Some extra bits of context: These errors also happen on latest `main` branch (commit 9f1f40cd). I can compile 2022e without issue. The getrandom error appears in commit 0733c65c ("Improve randomness of zic temp file names”). The linking error appears in commit e5b2ee63 ("Use C23 __has_include if available”). masOS 12.6.1 / Make 3.81 / clang 14.0.0 Also, the Makefile comment for the HAVE_GETRANDOM flag says "-DHAVE_GETRANDOM if getgrandom works (e.g., GNU/Linux)*” — is “getgrandom” a typo? Cheers, Gil

zic.c - compilation broken on gcc 4.8.3 after commit e5b2ee634c7151484c06740ea2c8a4d4a75409b6
by Иванов Игорь Oct. 31, 2022

Good time of day. This commit breaks compilation at least on GCC 4.8.3: commit e5b2ee634c7151484c06740ea2c8a4d4a75409b6 Author: Paul Eggert <eggert(a)cs.ucla.edu> Date: Thu Oct 20 11:41:27 2022 -0700 Use C23 __has_include if available It causes this compilation error: zic.c: In function ‘main’: zic.c:813:16: error: ‘optarg’ undeclared (first use in this function) if (strcmp(optarg, "slim") == 0) { ^ zic.c:906:6: error: ‘optind’ undeclared (first use in this function) if (optind == argc - 1 && strcmp(argv[optind], "=") == 0) ^ Specifically hunks like this are problematic: @@ -55,8 +63,8 @@ #endif #ifndef HAVE_GETTEXT -# define HAVE_GETTEXT 0 -#endif /* !defined HAVE_GETTEXT */ +# define HAVE_GETTEXT HAS_INCLUDE(<libintl.h>, false) +#endif #ifndef HAVE_INCOMPATIBLE_CTIME_R # define HAVE_INCOMPATIBLE_CTIME_R 0 The culprit is the replacement 0 -> false and 1 -> true. Apparently it breaks #if preprocessor logic in older compilers somewhere downstream - what was #if 1 becomes #if true, which GCC treats as "false" and falls into #else branch. "Restoring" false and true back to 0 and 1 seems to fix the issue. Best regards, Igor Ivanov, Software engineer at DSSL
