I got really worried for a second wondering if I had misspelled the Rankin_Inlet timezone name, but looks like I'm good! Whew. Thanks for your compliment and suggestion.

tzdata2016g.tar.gz\Makefile has a bug
by Help rtds.ru Oct. 7, 2016

Oct. 7, 2016

Hello. "Makefile" from tzdata2016g.tar.gz has the line: Version= unknown I think this is a bug. At least, it disrupts Oracle's tzupdater (ver.2.1.0). -- Best regards, *Nikotin Sergey* IT Dept *GK RTDService * Russia, 117393, Moscow, Obrucheva st., 52/69. phone: +7 (495) 718-66-77 e-mail: help(a)rtds.ru <mailto:help@rtds.ru> web: www.rtds.ru

zic: symlink generation issue
by Andreas Stieger Oct. 6, 2016

Oct. 6, 2016

Hello, on openSUSE we are seeing issues generating symlinks after replacing our distribution specific patches with the upstream code: $ rm /etc/localtime $ ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London /etc/localtime $ ls -l /etc/localtime lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Oct 6 12:47 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London $ zic -l Europe/Berlin $ ls -l /etc/localtime lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Oct 6 11:47 /etc/localtime -> ../../Europe/Berlin resulting in a broken symbolic link. The previous code supplied relname(), and in dolink() instead of calculating the dotdots using fromfield/tofield we used fromname/toname, respectively. I though I'd let you know while we are working on this, in case you have a quick fix. Otherwise we'll attempt to upstream what we come up with.

[PROPOSED PATCH] Port better to Solaris 10
by Paul Eggert Oct. 4, 2016

Oct. 4, 2016

Solaris 10 /bin/sh does not handle exit status properly when called from 'make', and does not support the $(...) syntax. Also, simplify by removing comments about Solaris 9 and earlier, which are no longer maintained. * Makefile: Update comments for current operating system status.

Check for command failure the old-fashioned way. * private.h, zdump.c (HAVE_STDINT_H): Default to 1 if limits.h defines INTMAX_MAX, for Solaris 10. * strftime.c (_fmt): Rework to avoid diagnostic about unreachable code from Sun C 5.9.

Jordan thinking of following Turkey's lead
by Paul Eggert Oct. 4, 2016

Oct. 4, 2016

Jordan is considering following Turkey's lead and switching to permanent +03, which would mean Asia/Amman's clocks would not be changed from 01:00 to 00:00 on October 28. Instead of switching back to +02 as currently planned, the government may delay working and school hours to better match year-round +03. (Amman's local mean time is roughly +0224.) There is no word on when the decision will be made. If they do decide to change the rules on such short notice, we'd need to generate a new tz version soon after. Given the usual delays in propagating such a change, there's a good chance Jordan's cell phones and computers won't be updated in time. Obeidat O. Gov’t mulls keeping summertime around the year.

Are tzdata2016g & tzdata-latest missing the VERSION file?
by Barry Allard Sept. 30, 2016

Sept. 30, 2016

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello, Thanks to all the folks whom have maintained and contributed to this vital database over the for years. Has the format changed somehow? If this and future database files were to break backwards-compatibility arbitrarily, it would be an unwelcome, breaking change for potentially tens- to hundreds-of-thousands of deployed endpoints and would an expensive burden and require lots of system software providers to repackage and push new software to untold millions to billions of endpoints, some of which are for-all-practical-purposes immutable (such as embedded systems / SCADA). In short: it would make a lot of people mad because it would be very expensive and time-consuming to change. For example, here's just one error from a wide-deployed utility (TZUpdater 2.1) which worked using tzdata2016f, but not with tzdata-latest nor tzdata2016g: $ java -jar tzupdater.jar -l https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzdata-latest.tar.gz Using https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzdata-latest.tar.gz as source for tzdata bundle. Source directory does not contain file: VERSION $ $ java -jar tzupdater.jar -l https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzdata2016f.tar.gz Using https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzdata2016f.tar.gz as source for tzdata bundle. JRE has the same version as the tzupdater provided one (tzdata2016f). $ If I might humbly suggest continuing using what was a de-facto standard for stability and least-surprise, where at all possible.

Sept. 29, 2016

With the latest TZ data release these have hanged: - The makefile now has "VERSION" set to "unknown". Earlier this contained the version string, e.g. "2016f". - Moving to FTP directories "/tz/code" and "/tz/data" now give "550: Failed to change directory" --------------------------------------- Sami Nieminen Puh: 040-7290290 Osoite: Ollinkatu 9 C 11, 33400 Tampere

[tz-announce] 2016g release of tz code and data available
by Paul Eggert Sept. 28, 2016

Sept. 28, 2016

The 2016g release of the tz code and data is available. It reflects the following changes, which were either circulated on the tz mailing list or are relatively minor technical or administrative changes: Changes to future time stamps Turkey switched from EET/EEST (+02/+03) to permanent +03, effective 2016-09-07. (Thanks to Burak AYDIN.) Use "+03" rather than an invented abbreviation for the new time. New leap second 2016-12-31 23:59:60 UTC as per IERS Bulletin C 52. (Thanks to Tim Parenti.) Changes to past time stamps For America/Los_Angeles, spring-forward transition times have been corrected from 02:00 to 02:01 in 1948, and from 02:00 to 01:00 in 1950-1966. For zones using Soviet time on 1919-07-01, transitions to UT-based time were at 00:00 UT, not at 02:00 local time. The affected zones are Europe/Kirov, Europe/Moscow, Europe/Samara, and Europe/Ulyanovsk. (Thanks to Alexander Belopolsky.) Changes to past and future time zone abbreviations The Factory zone now uses the time zone abbreviation -00 instead of a long English-language string, as -00 is now the normal way to represent an undefined time zone. Several zones in Antarctica and the former Soviet Union, along with zones intended for ships at sea that cannot use POSIX TZ strings, now use numeric time zone abbreviations instead of invented or obsolete alphanumeric abbreviations. The affected zones are Antarctica/Casey, Antarctica/Davis, Antarctica/DumontDUrville, Antarctica/Mawson, Antarctica/Rothera, Antarctica/Syowa, Antarctica/Troll, Antarctica/Vostok, Asia/Anadyr, Asia/Ashgabat, Asia/Baku, Asia/Bishkek, Asia/Chita, Asia/Dushanbe, Asia/Irkutsk, Asia/Kamchatka, Asia/Khandyga, Asia/Krasnoyarsk, Asia/Magadan, Asia/Omsk, Asia/Sakhalin, Asia/Samarkand, Asia/Srednekolymsk, Asia/Tashkent, Asia/Tbilisi, Asia/Ust-Nera, Asia/Vladivostok, Asia/Yakutsk, Asia/Yekaterinburg, Asia/Yerevan, Etc/GMT-14, Etc/GMT-13, Etc/GMT-12, Etc/GMT-11, Etc/GMT-10, Etc/GMT-9, Etc/GMT-8, Etc/GMT-7, Etc/GMT-6, Etc/GMT-5, Etc/GMT-4, Etc/GMT-3, Etc/GMT-2, Etc/GMT-1, Etc/GMT+1, Etc/GMT+2, Etc/GMT+3, Etc/GMT+4, Etc/GMT+5, Etc/GMT+6, Etc/GMT+7, Etc/GMT+8, Etc/GMT+9, Etc/GMT+10, Etc/GMT+11, Etc/GMT+12, Europe/Kaliningrad, Europe/Minsk, Europe/Samara, Europe/Volgograd, and Indian/Kerguelen. For Europe/Moscow the invented abbreviation MSM was replaced by +05, whereas MSK and MSD were kept as they are not our invention and are widely used. Changes to zone names Rename Asia/Rangoon to Asia/Yangon, with a backward compatibility link. (Thanks to David Massoud.) Changes to code zic no longer generates binary files containing POSIX TZ-like strings that disagree with the local time type after the last explicit transition in the data. This fixes a bug with Africa/Casablanca and Africa/El_Aaiun in some year-2037 time stamps on the reference platform. (Thanks to Alexander Belopolsky for reporting the bug and suggesting a way forward.) If the installed localtime and/or posixrules files are symbolic links, zic now keeps them symbolic links when updating them, for compatibility with platforms like OpenSUSE where other programs configure these files as symlinks. zic now avoids hard linking to symbolic links, avoids some unnecessary mkdir and stat system calls, and uses shorter file names internally. zdump has a new -i option to generate transitions in a more-compact but still human-readable format. This option is experimental, and the output format may change in future versions. (Thanks to Jon Skeet for suggesting that an option was needed, and thanks to Tim Parenti and Chris Rovick for further comments.) Changes to build procedure An experimental distribution format is available, in addition to the traditional format which will continue to be distributed. The new format is a tarball tzdb-VERSION.tar.lz with signature file tzdb-VERSION.tar.lz.asc. It unpacks to a top-level directory tzdb-VERSION containing the code and data of the traditional two-tarball format, along with extra data that may be useful. (Thanks to Antonio Diaz Diaz, Oscar van Vlijmen, and many others for comments about the experimental format.) The release version number is now more accurate in the usual case where releases are built from a Git repository. For example, if 23 commits and some working-file changes have been made since release 2016g, the version number is now something like '2016g-23-g50556e3-dirty' instead of the misleading '2016g'. Official releases uses the same version number format as before, e.g., '2016g'. To support the more-accurate version number, its specification has moved from a line in the Makefile to a new source file 'version'. The experimental distribution contains a file to2050.tzs that contains what should be the output of 'zdump -i -c 2050' on primary zones. If this file is available, 'make check' now checks that zdump generates this output. 'make check_web' now works on Fedora-like distributions. Changes to documentation and commentary tzfile.5 now documents the new restriction on POSIX TZ-like strings that is now implemented by zic. Comments now cite URLs for some 1917-1921 Russian DST decrees. (Thanks to Alexander Belopolsky.) tz-link.htm mentions JuliaTime (thanks to Curtis Vogt) and Time4J (thanks to Meno Hochschild) and ThreeTen-Extra, and its description of Java 8 has been brought up to date (thanks to Stephen Colebourne). Its description of local time on Mars has been updated to match current practice, and URLs have been updated and some obsolete ones removed.

Istanbul fix for 1986-2006
by Kıvanç Yazan Sept. 25, 2016

Sept. 25, 2016

Hi! I've been looking at DST rules of Turkey, and I run into a few issues. 1) For 1986-2006, DST started at 01:00 local and ended at 02:00 local, with no exceptions. 2) 1994's lastSun was overridden with Mar 20, which was not reflected. Links in comments were inaccessible and some were not official. Here are official papers: http://www.resmigazete.gov.tr/arsiv/19032.pdf -- page 2 for 1986 http://www.resmigazete.gov.tr/arsiv/19400.pdf -- page 4 for 1987 http://www.resmigazete.gov.tr/arsiv/19752.pdf -- page 15 for 1988 http://www.resmigazete.gov.tr/arsiv/20102.pdf -- page 6 for 1989 http://www.resmigazete.gov.tr/arsiv/20464.pdf -- page 1 for 1990 - 1992 http://www.resmigazete.gov.tr/arsiv/21531.pdf -- page 15 for 1993 - 1995 http://www.resmigazete.gov.tr/arsiv/21879.pdf -- page 1 for overriding 1994 http://www.resmigazete.gov.tr/arsiv/22588.pdf -- page 1 for 1996, 1997 http://www.resmigazete.gov.tr/arsiv/23286.pdf -- page 10 for 1998 - 2000 http://www.resmigazete.gov.tr/eskiler/2001/03/20010324.htm#2 -- for 2001 http://www.resmigazete.gov.tr/eskiler/2002/03/20020316.htm#2 -- for 2002 - 2006 Sincerely, Kivanc Yazan

Backward compatibility of tzfile?
by Deborah Goldsmith Sept. 21, 2016

Sept. 21, 2016

Hi, Is the intent that successive versions of the tzfile format will be compatible with older implementations of localtime.c, date.c, etc.? Obviously they wouldn’t be able to take advantage of any new information, but is the idea they’ll still be able to read it? I wasn’t able to find anything in the man pages about this. Thanks, Debbie
