glibc install problem caused by bug in zic (fwd)

Hi, I had sent this mail originally to the glibc people, but Ulrich Drepper <drepper(a)redhat.com> told me to resend it to you, since he "doesn't want to get involved in a discussion about the details".

Things could actually have been much worse: If an old but corrupt file `right/America/Puerto_Rico' would have already existed, zic would have created a hard link to that old file before the other instance of zic had recreated a good new version of it and no one would have noticed. (B) A bug in zic when creating a link but fromfile doesn't exist.

One way out would be to move the link from the file `systemv' to the file `northamerica' where the `America/Puerto_Rico' zone is defined (and the same for all other links), but you probably find this undesirable. Or you could disable the parallel-make while installing in the `timezone' directory. BTW: Can a similar problem occur in other directories? Or (less reliably) one could change the behaviour of zic: if the first attempt to create a (hard) link fails, wait for a short period and try again.

The Summer Time Order 2002 has appeared in today's Stationery Office Daily List. http://www.legislation.hmso.gov.uk/si/si2002/20020262.htm This implements the 9th Summer Time Directive in the UK on a permanent basis, removing the power to vary Summer Time or introduce Double Summer Time by Order in Council. Unlike previous Orders, it does not apply in Guernsey; I do not know what other provision about Summer Time may have been made there.

New definition of "Seconds Since the Epoch" in POSIX
by Markus Kuhn Feb. 8, 2002

Feb. 8, 2002

The new 2001 edition of the POSIX standard (IEEE Std 1003.1-2001) is now freely available online: http://www.UNIX-systems.org/version3/ Of particular interest to all you leap second gurus out there is perhaps the new slightly revised/relaxed definition of the technical term "Seconds Since the Epoch" that forms the basis for the scalar time used in Unix system calls: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/basedefs/xbd_chap04.html#tag_… A value that approximates the number of seconds that have elapsed since the Epoch. A Coordinated Universal Time name (specified in terms of seconds (tm_sec), minutes (tm_min), hours (tm_hour), days since January 1 of the year (tm_yday), and calendar year minus 1900 (tm_year)) is related to a time represented as seconds since the Epoch, according to the expression below. If the year is <1970 or the value is negative, the relationship is undefined. If the year is >=1970 and the value is non-negative, the value is related to a Coordinated Universal Time name according to the C-language expression, where tm_sec, tm_min, tm_hour, tm_yday, and tm_year are all integer types: tm_sec + tm_min*60 + tm_hour*3600 + tm_yday*86400 + (tm_year-70)*31536000 + ((tm_year-69)/4)*86400 - ((tm_year-1)/100)*86400 + ((tm_year+299)/400)*86400 The relationship between the actual time of day and the current value for seconds since the Epoch is unspecified. How any changes to the value of seconds since the Epoch are made to align to a desired relationship with the current actual time are made is implementation-defined. As represented in seconds since the Epoch, each and every day shall be accounted for by exactly 86400 seconds. What has changed? Apart from adding the mod 100 years and mod 400 years leap year rules to the formula, the last two paragraphs have been added. These essentially relax the definition of Seconds Since the Epoch. Without them, a strict interpretation of the old definition would have required that a UTC-aware implementation (e.g., an NTP-synchronized workstation) has to show the same progression of values during an inserted leap second 23:59:60Z and the following first second of the next day 00:00:00Z. In other words, the wording of the old definition could have been interpreted to require UTC-synchronized POSIX clocks to show the same scalar timestamp at 23:59:60.5Z as well as one second later at 00:00:00.5Z, which is indeed what for example the Linux kernel did when connected to a reference clock with activated kernel PLL. The new definition relaxes that and allows for example an implementation to decide to implement the progression of the scalar system time near an inserted leap second by slowing down the system clock briefly, for example according to the formula proposed in http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/uts.txt As I read it, the new definition still prevents implementations from making the system's scalar time an exact measure of physical time (e.g. by applying the provided encoding formula to a TAI clock display, instead of a UTC clock display) by the requirement of representing each day by an increment of 86400 "seconds" on the scalar clock. (Though nitpickers could of course argue that the text does not explicitely refer to a UTC day, I know :-) Markus -- Markus G.

Re: Time Zones changes in Argentina
by Paul Eggert Feb. 5, 2002

Feb. 5, 2002

Thanks for your letter. The tz files acquired some incorrect data about Argentine time from the 3rd edition of Shanks's International Atlas. I now see that the 5th edition corrects this; I'd missed this earlier. >From what I understand, here are the changes that I think need making with respect to Argentine time. * No DST was observed from mid-1974 through mid-1988. * 1966/1967 DST ended on 1967-04-02, not 1967-04-01. * Argentine standard time was introduced 1894-10-31, not 1894-11-01. * Argentine standard time from 1894-10-31 through 1920-04-30 was -4:16:48.25, not -4:16:44. * Rosario and Cordoba have the same time zone history since 1970, so we should mark the America/Rosario Zone as obsolescent. * Many of the transition dates in 1991 and 1992 are incorrect. If you see any problems with these changes, please let me know. It appears that there was widespread disagreement about the clocks in Argentina in 1991 and 1992. Shanks also indicates that we may need up to six more regions in Argentina, as he makes the following additional claims: - Formosa switched to -3:00 on 1991-01-07. - La Rioja and San Juan switched to -4:00 on 1991-03-01 and then to 03:00 on 1991-05-07. - Misiones switched to -3:00 on 1990-12-29. - Chaco switched to -3:00 on 1991-01-04. - San Luis switched to -4:00 on 1990-03-14, then to -3:00 on 1990-10-15, then to -4:00 on 1991-03-01, then to -3:00 on 1991-06-01. - Santiago del Estero switched to -4:00 on 1991-04-01, then to -3:00 on 1991-04-26. However, his claims are a bit odd, and his data about this confusing area seem to peter out around 1992 even though the book was published in 1999. I think I'll defer adding Zones for each of these regions until we get more info. If you're interested, here is the draft of some revised tables for Argentina. I'll included these in my next proposed patch. # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S Rule Arg 1930 only - Dec 1 0:00 1:00 S Rule Arg 1931 only - Apr 1 0:00 0 - Rule Arg 1931 only - Oct 15 0:00 1:00 S Rule Arg 1932 1940 - Mar 1 0:00 0 - Rule Arg 1932 1939 - Nov 1 0:00 1:00 S Rule Arg 1940 only - Jul 1 0:00 1:00 S Rule Arg 1941 only - Jun 15 0:00 0 - Rule Arg 1941 only - Oct 15 0:00 1:00 S Rule Arg 1943 only - Aug 1 0:00 0 - Rule Arg 1943 only - Oct 15 0:00 1:00 S Rule Arg 1946 only - Mar 1 0:00 0 - Rule Arg 1946 only - Oct 1 0:00 1:00 S Rule Arg 1963 only - Oct 1 0:00 0 - Rule Arg 1963 only - Dec 15 0:00 1:00 S Rule Arg 1964 1966 - Mar 1 0:00 0 - Rule Arg 1964 1966 - Oct 15 0:00 1:00 S Rule Arg 1967 only - Apr 2 0:00 0 - Rule Arg 1967 1968 - Oct Sun>=1 0:00 1:00 S Rule Arg 1968 1969 - Apr Sun>=1 0:00 0 - Rule Arg 1974 only - Jan 23 0:00 1:00 S Rule Arg 1974 only - May 1 0:00 0 - Rule Arg 1988 only - Dec 1 0:00 1:00 S Rule Arg 1989 1993 - Mar Sun>=1 0:00 0 - Rule Arg 1989 1992 - Oct Sun>=15 0:00 1:00 S Rule Arg 1999 only - Oct Sun>=1 0:00 1:00 S Rule Arg 2000 only - Mar Sun>=1 0:00 0 - # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] # # Buenos Aires (BA), Capital Federal (CF), Santa Cruz (SC), # Tierra del Fuego, Antartida e Islas del Atlantico Sur (TF) Zone America/Buenos_Aires -3:53:48 - LMT 1894 Oct 31 -4:16:48 - CMT 1920 May # Cordoba Mean Time -4:00 - ART 1930 Dec -4:00 Arg AR%sT 1969 Oct 5 -3:00 Arg AR%sT 1999 Oct 3 -4:00 Arg AR%sT 2000 Mar 3 -3:00 - ART # # Santa Fe (SF), Entre Rios (ER), Corrientes (CN), Misiones (MN), Chaco (CC), # Formosa (FM), Salta (SA), Tucuman (TM), Santiago del Estero (SE), # Cordoba (CB), La Rioja (LR), San Juan (SJ), San Luis (SL), La Pampa (LP), # Neuquen (NQ), Rio Negro (RN), Chubut (CH) Zone America/Cordoba -4:16:48 - LMT 1894 Oct 31 -4:16:48 - CMT 1920 May -4:00 - ART 1930 Dec -4:00 Arg AR%sT 1969 Oct 5 -3:00 Arg AR%sT 1991 Mar 3 -4:00 - WART 1991 Oct 20 -3:00 Arg AR%sT 1999 Oct 3 -4:00 Arg AR%sT 2000 Mar 3 -3:00 - ART # # Jujuy (JY) Zone America/Jujuy -4:21:12 - LMT 1894 Oct 31 -4:16:48 - CMT 1920 May -4:00 - ART 1930 Dec -4:00 Arg AR%sT 1969 Oct 5 -3:00 Arg AR%sT 1990 Mar 4 -4:00 - WART 1990 Oct 28 -4:00 1:00 WARST 1991 Mar 17 -4:00 - WART 1991 Oct 6 -3:00 1:00 ARST 1992 -3:00 Arg AR%sT 1999 Oct 3 -4:00 Arg AR%sT 2000 Mar 3 -3:00 - ART # # Catamarca (CT) Zone America/Catamarca -4:23:08 - LMT 1894 Oct 31 -4:16:48 - CMT 1920 May -4:00 - ART 1930 Dec -4:00 Arg AR%sT 1969 Oct 5 -3:00 Arg AR%sT 1991 Mar 3 -4:00 - WART 1991 Oct 20 -3:00 Arg AR%sT 1999 Oct 3 -4:00 Arg AR%sT 2000 Mar 3 -3:00 - ART # # Mendoza (MZ) Zone America/Mendoza -4:35:16 - LMT 1894 Oct 31 -4:16:48 - CMT 1920 May -4:00 - ART 1930 Dec -4:00 Arg AR%sT 1969 Oct 5 -3:00 Arg AR%sT 1990 Mar 4 -4:00 - WART 1990 Oct 15 -4:00 1:00 WARST 1991 Mar 1 -4:00 - WART 1991 Oct 15 -4:00 1:00 WARST 1992 Mar 1 -4:00 - WART 1992 Oct 18 -3:00 Arg AR%sT 1999 Oct 3 -4:00 Arg AR%sT 2000 Mar 3 -3:00 - ART

IERS Message No. 21: IERS/GGFC Special Bureau for Loading
by central_bureau＠iers.org Jan. 29, 2002

Jan. 29, 2002

*************************************************************************** IERS Message No. 21 January 29, 2002 *************************************************************************** IERS/GGFC Special Bureau for Loading established On February 1, 2002, the Special Bureau for Loading (SBL) will be established by IERS under its Global Geophysical Fluids Center (GGFC), joining the seven existing Special Bureaus of GGFC. SBL is to promote, stimulate and coordinate work and progress towards a service providing information on Earth surface deformation and gravity variations due to surface mass loading. The SBL will provide in near real-time a consistent global solution data set describing at least the surface deformation, gravity signal and geocenter variations due to the various surface loading processes (beginning with atmospheric pressure and eventually including reliable models of non-tidal ocean loading and continental water mass variations) in reference frames relevant for direct comparison with geodetic observing techniques. For the special case of ocean tidal loading, the existing classical products will also be made available through the SBL. The SBL is co-chaired by T. van Dam (European Center for Geodynamics and Seismology, Luxembourg; <tvd(a)ecgs.lu>) and H.-P. Plag (Norwegian Mapping Authority; <plag(a)statkart.no>). Its members include: G. Blewitt (U. Nevada), J.-P. Boy (NASA Goddard), O. Francis (European Center for Geodynamics and Seismology), P. Gegout (U. Strasbourg), H. Kierulf (Norwegian Mapping Authority), T. Sato (Japan National Astronomical Observatory), H.G. Scherneck (Onsala Space Observatory), and J. Wahr (U. Colorado). To maintain a close tie with the present efforts being undertaken at IERS, Ex-officio members of the SBL also include the chairs of the existing Special Bureaus of GGFC: B. Chao, V. Dehant, R.

2002b
by Olson, Arthur David (NCI) Jan. 28, 2002

Jan. 28, 2002

Correct (as far as I've been able to test) versions of the new time zone stuff are now available as ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode2002b.tar.gz and ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2002b.tar.gz (I still need to track down how the original versions got corrupted, but have transferred the above by way of another path.) --ado

2002a

Jan. 28, 2002

The gzipped versions of the new data files are corrupt; the corruption appears to be introduced by gzip. So, for now, you'll find ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode2002a.tar and ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2002a.tar available for downloading until I figure out what's going on with gzip. Thanks to Bradley White for catching the problem! --ado

tzcode2002a.tar.gz and tzdata2002a.tar.gz
by Olson, Arthur David (NCI) Jan. 28, 2002

Jan. 28, 2002

The files ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode2002a.tar.gz and ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2002a.tar.gz are now available. These include the changes circulated on the time zone mailing list last week by Paul Eggert, an update to the "leapseconds" file to note that there'll be no leap second at the end of June, 2002, a change to "zic.c" to deal with a problem in handling the "Asia/Bishkek" zone, and a change to "difftime.c" to avoid sizeof problems. Changes to data for Argentina await settling of dust. --ado

Timezone Database
by Simon Crump Jan. 24, 2002

Jan. 24, 2002

Hi, I am a software developer in the UK and I am currently working on a project that requires me to normalise times from various timezones into GMT. Much searching of the internet leads me to the conclusion that your resource at ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub is as close to a definitive timezone database as there is. Can you point to me to any resources that explain how to interpret and utilise this data? Thanks, > Simon Crump > RGS IT Consulting > 6th Floor, World Trade Centre > Exchange Quay > Manchester, M5 3EJ > UK > > www : www.rgsit.com > Email : simon.crump(a)rgsit.com > > CONFIDENTIAL > The information contained in this email and any attachment is > confidential.

proposed tz patch for Tonga, Thule, Kazakhstan, China, etc.
by Paul Eggert Jan. 14, 2002

Jan. 14, 2002

Here are some proposed patches to the tz database that I've been accumulating. I haven't had a chance to think through all my tz-related mail (sorry!) but Arthur David Olson wrote that he'd like to do a release soon, so here's what I have right now. * The Tonga daylight-saving rules seem to be systematic since November 2000, though these things are hard to predict. (Thanks to Rives McDow for this info.) * Thule uses American DST rules. (Thanks to Rives McDow for contacting someone at Thule about this, and for confirming some of the other Greenland info.) * Kazakhstan switches using the Russian rules, not at midnight. (Thanks to German Iofis for this.) Also, incorporate claims by Shanks about time zone changes in Kazakhstan in 1989, 1991, and 1992. This results in new zone entries Asia/Qyzylorda and Asia/Oral. * Use zone.tab comments that are less confusing for people in China. (Thanks to Anthony Fok for this.) * Use time zone abbreviations that are more historically accurate for pre-1980 time zones in China. (Thanks to Anthony Fok for this.) * Rename Asia/Macao to the more popular name Asia/Macau, with a backward compatibility link. (Thanks to Anthony Fok for this.) * Install tzselect, since we already install its man page. (Thanks to prj(a)po.cwru.edu for noting the problem.) * Update obsolete link in tz-link.htm. =================================================================== RCS file: RCS/Makefile,v retrieving revision 2001.3 retrieving revision 2001.3.0.1 diff -pu -r2001.3 -r2001.3.0.1 --- Makefile 2001/06/05 17:48:21 2001.3 +++ Makefile 2002/01/14 23:01:02 2001.3.0.1 @@ -42,7 +42,7 @@ TOPDIR= /usr/local TZDIR= $(TOPDIR)/etc/zoneinfo -# The "zic" and "zdump" commands get installed in. . . +# The "tzselect", "zic", and "zdump" commands get installed in. . .

FW: tz library compilation problems, etc.
by Olson, Arthur David (NCI) Jan. 14, 2002

Jan. 14, 2002

-----Original Message----- From: prj(a)po.cwru.edu [mailto:prj@po.cwru.edu] Sent: Friday, January 11, 2002 9:49 PM To: tz(a)elsie.nci.nih.gov Subject: tz library compilation problems, etc. I had to make some changes to difftime.c to get it to compile: when giving a type name to sizeof (lines 35 and 37), it must be parenthesized. "make install" installs the tzselect man page, but not tzselect itself. Is that intended? Have you considered merging this library with any whole libc, such as glibc or dietlibc? Or has it already been merged? paul
