FW: Re coming Russian-Belarusian-Ukrainian timezone change
by Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) [E] Sept. 22, 2011

Sept. 22, 2011

I'm forwarding this message from Yury Tarasievich, who is not on the time zone mailing list. Those of you who are on the list, please direct replies appropriately. --ado -----Original Message----- From: Yury Tarasievich [mailto:yury.tarasievich@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2011 12:24 To: tz(a)lecserver.nci.nih.gov Subject: Re coming Russian-Belarusian-Ukrainian timezone change Hello, They say that for denoting the new timezone there's FET (further-eastern european time) proposal in the works, but this seems Very Bad and Confusing English to me. Please consider denoting the new timezone as EEFT (East European Forward Time) -> minimal changes in abbreviature and mnemonic, clear semantic. Better English, too. -Yury

America/Sitka LMT bug
by Zefram Sept. 22, 2011

Sept. 22, 2011

I noticed this recent addition to the database: |Zone America/Sitka -14:58:47 - LMT 1867 Oct 18 | -9:01:13 - LMT 1900 Aug 20 12:00 | -8:00 - PST 1942 ... For local mean time to jump by 5.6 hours, implying that the city jumped 89 degrees to the east, would be a neat trick. Obviously the first offset is meant to be +14:58:47, and the city jumped by 24 hours or 360 degrees, crossing the IDL. -zefram

updated changes--Belarus, Newfoundland, Palestine, Ukraine, west Russia
by Arthur David Olson Sept. 21, 2011

Sept. 21, 2011

Below are updated proposed changes to the time zone package; the summary: asia Palestine suspends DST during Ramadan in 2011; Gaza and Hebron split in 2011, leading to a new Asia/Hebron zone (thanks to Steffen Thorsen and Alexander Krivenshev). (The different end of DST in Gaza and Hebron in 2008 is also reflected.) europe Belarus adopts permanent DST in 2011 (thanks to Yauhen Kharuzhy, Alexander Bokovoy, Alexander Krivenyshev, and Kirill A. Shutemov). Ukraine adopts permanent DST in 2011 (thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev). "Russia" rules changed to reflect end of use in 2010. "FET" used as abbreviation for Belarus, Ukraine, and western Russia (thanks to Paul Eggert). Also: a comment typo is fixed. northamerica Updated comment on Newfoundland's 2011 change of time of day when DST starts and ends (thanks to Michael Pelley). zone.tab New Asia/Hebron zone (thanks to Alexander Krivenshev). I still hope to update the ftp site on 2011-09-26. --ado diff -r -c old/asia new/asia *** old/asia Sat Sep 3 08:28:37 2011 --- new/asia Tue Sep 20 17:54:03 2011 *************** *** 1,4 **** ! # @(#)asia 8.65 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. --- 1,4 ---- ! # @(#)asia 8.68 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. *************** *** 2194,2200 **** --- 2194,2230 ---- # http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/westbank-gaza-end-dst-2010.html # </a> + # From Steffen Thorsen (2011-08-26): + # Gaza and the West Bank did go back to standard time in the beginning of + # August, and will now enter daylight saving time again on 2011-08-30 + # 00:00 (so two periods of DST in 2011).

Ukraine adopts UTC+3 year-round
by Tim Parenti Sept. 20, 2011

Sept. 20, 2011

While I support any effort to create a "unified" abbreviation designation for the new UTC+3 year-round zone to be observed by Belarus and Ukraine (and perhaps even Kaliningrad), I don't think that using "EEST" year-round is necessarily a good idea, especially for zones which are geographically contiguous to others that will be shifting back to EET in October. The similarities in designation could cause confusion in border regions. Furthermore, continuing to call the time "Summer Time" through the winter doesn't make any sense, especially if we're codifying the new zone as UTC+3+0 (standard offset year-round), rather than UTC+2+1, which it seems we are indeed doing. That said, I don't have any better suggestions for a unified designation off the top of my head. I think "UAT" would serve decently for Ukraine's four tz zones, at least unless and until something more "unifying" can be devised. -- Tim Parenti On Tue, Sep 20, 2011 at 09:12, Alexander Bokovoy <abokovoy(a)redhat.com>wrote: > According to > http://w1.c1.rada.gov.ua/pls/zweb_n/webproc4_1?id=&pf3511=40036 > > Ukraine has adopted permanent DST today, September 20th. > > It means we would actually benefit from keeping EEST for Belarus and > Ukraine. >

FW: updated Russian Time Zones - need to correct some districts for Sakha - Yakutia and Sakhalin
by Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) [E] Sept. 20, 2011

Sept. 20, 2011

I'm forwarding this message which didn't seem to make to the list on its own. --ado -----Original Message----- From: Tobias Conradi [mailto:tobias.conradi@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, September 16, 2011 7:12 To: tz(a)lecserver.nci.nih.gov Subject: Re: updated Russian Time Zones - need to correct some districts for Sakha - Yakutia and Sakhalin I wonder whether this 2011 decree really means that tzdata only needs corrections or whether it means that tzdata needs addition of new zones. If the tz data is correct for the time before 2011, then the decree may imply zone split. That is two new zones: 1) NEW Asia/Khandyga containing Bulunsky (parts), Tomponsky, Ust-Maysky 2) NEW Asia/Ust-Nera containing Oymyakonsky.

proposed time zone package changes (Belarus, Newfoundland, Palestine)
by Arthur David Olson Sept. 20, 2011

Sept. 20, 2011

Here are proposed changes to the time zone package. This set is limited to changes affecting 2011 time stamps, and I'm holding off on changes to Russia pending further information. The executive summary: asia Palestine suspends DST during Ramadan in 2011; Gaza and Hebron split in 2011, leading to a new Asia/Hebron zone (thanks to Steffen Thorsen and Alexander Krivenshev). (The different end of DST in Gaza and Hebron in 2008 is also reflected.) europe Belarus adopts permanent DST in 2011 (thanks to Yauhen Kharuzhy, Alexander Bokovoy, Alexander Krivenyshev, and Kirill A. Shutemov). Given the Belarus change, "Russia" rules changed to reflect end of use in 2010. Also: a comment typo is fixed. northamerica Updated comment on Newfoundland's 2011 change of time of day when DST starts and ends (thanks to Michael Pelley). zone.tab New Asia/Hebron zone (thanks to Alexander Krivenshev). The abbreviation for Belarus is at the moment MINST (MINsk Standard Time). BST (Belarus Standard Time) is a possibility; it is the same as British Summer Time. I'd love to get a report of what's actually in use there (both the name and the abbreviation). If no problems are found, these changes will appear on the ftp site on 2011-09-26. --ado diff -r -c old/asia new/asia *** old/asia Sat Sep 3 08:28:37 2011 --- new/asia Sat Sep 17 14:54:07 2011 *************** *** 1,4 **** ! # @(#)asia 8.65 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. --- 1,4 ---- ! # @(#)asia 8.67 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. *************** *** 2194,2200 **** --- 2194,2230 ---- # http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/westbank-gaza-end-dst-2010.html # </a> + # From Steffen Thorsen (2011-08-26): + # Gaza and the West Bank did go back to standard time in the beginning of + # August, and will now enter daylight saving time again on 2011-08-30 + # 00:00 (so two periods of DST in 2011).

Hong Kong problem and BCN timezone(s)
by Jesper Nørgaard Sept. 20, 2011

Sept. 20, 2011

I have found a small problem in the Hong Kong corrections of 2009q. It seems that the Hong Kong government page says that DST was not used in 1977 and 1978, while this is the current tz data: Rule HK 1965 1977 - Apr Sun>=16 3:30 1:00 S Rule HK 1965 1977 - Oct Sun>=16 3:30 0 - Indeed the whole extract of the government web page is still part of the asia file. I would suggest it should be like this Rule HK 1965 1976 - Apr Sun>=16 3:30 1:00 S Rule HK 1965 1976 - Oct Sun>=16 3:30 0 - My other question concerns the timezone America/Santa_Isabel. It seems that several sources imply that all of Baca California Norte is on the same timezone http://www.frontera.info/EdicionEnlinea/Notas/Noticias/13032010/435414.aspx http://www.notisistema.com/noticias/?p=251578 http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/north-mexico-dst-change.html This is far from authoritative, but at least and indication that BCN might be one single timezone. I wonder if there has been any confirmation of the Santa Isabel timezone in BCN? I am not saying it is not there, I just haven't found any confirmation of it. - Jesper Norgaard Welen

Sep, 15th belarusian council of ministers had decided to abandone DST, so from now belarusian time will be east european(UTC+2)+1. So I've made very trivial patch for tzdata. I've called new belarusian tz as MNSK (derived from Minsk). -- http://375gnu.wordpress.com

Post-1970 errors in Russian zones, suggest zones Asia/Tomsk, Asia/Barnaul

Sept. 17, 2011

I know that Wikipedia is not reliable, still I would like to start with: http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A7%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%8B%D0%B5_%D0… Так, например, регионы Западной Сибири, ранее находившиеся в зоне MSK+4, перешли на время MSK+3, присоединившись к Омскому времени: Новосибирская область 23 мая 1993 в 00:00, Алтайский край и Республика Алтай 28 мая 1995 в 4:00, Томская область 1 мая 2002 в 3:00. В этих регионах фактически было отменено декретное время. Moves to Omsk Time 1993-05-23 Novosibirsk Oblast (Новосибирская область 23 мая 1993 в 00:00) 1995-05-28 Altai Krai, Altai Oblast (Алтайский край и Республика Алтай 28 мая 1995 в 4:00) Suggested new zone: Asia/Barnaul, split from Asia/Omsk 2002-05-01 Tomsk Oblast (Томская область 1 мая 2002 в 3:00) Supported by http://newsru.com/russia/01may2002/clock.html Suggested new zone: Asia/Tomsk, split from Asia/Novosibirsk If one looks at the map as of today http://efele.net/maps/tz/russia/ shows Asia/Omsk as two regions, in the west Omsk Oblast, interrupted by Asia/Novosibirsk in the east Altai Krai and Altai Oblast. Asia/Novosibirsk has Novosibirsk Oblast in the south and Tomsk Oblast in the north. Novosibirsk Oblast has Omsk Oblast in the west and the Altai entities in the east. That is the changes as written down in the Russian Wikipedia lead to contiguous zones at any time, while the current rules in tzdata do not. Omsk Time as in Omsk Oblast, joined by bordering Novosibirsk an eastward expansion, later joined by bordering Altai entities, an eastward expansion, later joined by bordering Tomsk, a northward expansion. Later joined by Kemerovo Oblast, an eastward expansion. This is covered by zone Asia/Novokuznetsk. -- Tobias Conradi Rheinsberger Str. 18 10115 Berlin Germany http://tobiasconradi.com/tobias_conradi

a comment in C-Eur rules 1944 can be removed
by Alois Treindl Sept. 17, 2011

Sept. 17, 2011

The file tzdate/europe contains this comment regarding the end of DST in Germany 1944: # Whitman gives 1944 Oct 7; go with Shanks & Pottenger. Rule C-Eur 1944 only - Oct 2 2:00s 0 - I have looked up the Reichsgesetzblatt 1944, p.198 which contains the text of the respective decree. Shanks has the correct date and time. I attach a copy. It is very precise because it deals explicitly with the fact that the hour from 2 am to 3 am occurs twice, when the clock is set back from 3 am to 2 am. It says (my translation from German): For the hour of 2 to 3 in the morning of 2nd October 1944, the first occurrence will be called 2A, 2A 1 minute etc until 2A 59 minutes. The second occurrence will be called 2B, 2B 1 minute etc until 2B 59 minutes.

Hello! Moving towards unification with Russia on economical reasons, Republic of Belarus has announced today to cancel daylight saving time rule and don't rewind clocks on last Sunday of October. Here is the news (in Russian): http://gosstandart.gov.by/ru-RU/NewsId.php?UrlRid=550 The decree is N1229 by Belarussian government, dated 2011-09-15, unfortunately, not yet published on pravo.by so I can't reference it. If I'm not mistaken, the change would make Europe/Minsk zone look like: # Belarus # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Europe/Minsk 1:50:16 - LMT 1880 1:50 - MMT 1924 May 2 # Minsk Mean Time 2:00 - EET 1930 Jun 21 3:00 - MSK 1941 Jun 28 1:00 C-Eur CE%sT 1944 Jul 3 3:00 Russia MSK/MSD 1990 3:00 - MSK 1991 Mar 31 2:00s 2:00 1:00 EEST 1991 Sep 29 2:00s 2:00 - EET 1992 Mar 29 0:00s 2:00 1:00 EEST 1992 Sep 27 0:00s 2:00 Russia EE%sT 2011 Sep 15 3:00 - EET -- / Alexander Bokovoy
