Niue
by hsv＠tbbs.net Oct. 7, 2008

Oct. 7, 2008

I think that Niue s longitude s sign is wrong, that it is around west 170 not east 170 degrees from Greenwich. In any case, that is so in the CIA s World Factbook, https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2011.html, and its LMT offset is suggestive.

Wrong Argentinian DST introduced in version 2008f
by Aurelien Jarno Oct. 6, 2008

Oct. 6, 2008

Hi, tzdata version 2008f introduced a rule for Argentinian DST based on http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_argentina03.html and http://www.impulsobaires.com.ar/nota.php?id=57832 Unfortunately those links only speak about rumors of a DST change, there is nothing fixed officially, and according to some Argentinian people DST may even not happen this year. Until an official decision is taken it is probably a lot better to remove any DST rule for year 2008. Please find attached a patch to do that. Regards, Aurelien -- .''`.

Argentina DST

My timezone seems to have just changed to Argentina Summer Time $ date "+%H:%M:%S %z %Z" 01:39:17 -0200 ARST If this change was correct, I'd expect to have heard something about it in the news. *Spring* started a few weeks ago, not summer. Is it really supposed to start now?

Enhancement: Make tzselect work in tiny shells

We occasionally want to install glibc (and with it, tzselect) on tiny little systems where "install ksh or bash" is not a viable choice.
