[PATCH] Don't put leapseconds.awk in tzdata tarball.
by Paul Eggert Aug. 11, 2014

[PATCH] Minor spelling, accent, and spacing fixes.

Portuguese time zones - Africa/Luanda
by Stephen Colebourne Aug. 11, 2014

Aug. 11, 2014

While playing with the data format, I had a look at Africa/Luanda. It currently says: Zone Africa/Luanda 0:52:56 - LMT 1892 0:52:04 - AOT 1911 May 26 # Angola Time 1:00 - WAT Wikipedia has interesting details on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Portugal "By the Decree of 26 May 1911, a reform was approved regarding standard time in Portugal and in its overseas Empire" "These time zones were adopted on 1 January 1912." With the Portuguese law linked: http://dre.pt/pdf1sdip/1911/05/12500/23132313.pdf I'd suggest that the data should be changed from 1911 May 26 to 1 January 1912, but I don't have much Portuguese language expertise to confirm this... The Africa file has no details on the 1892 change. Note that the Wikipedia page and law includes other countries as well. I send this because (a) currently it seems wrong and (b) it is evidence that some historic data can be found and should not be lost. Stephen

Several minor patches

Aug. 9, 2014

Attached are another round of patches, relative to 62060419e3b81752ee5c1bda546c0ff87d66ea3e. 0001 expands a bit commentary in tz-art.htm. 0002 adjusts some Rule lines, since zic has been able to handle 24:00. This changes timestamps for one minute in Asia/Dhaka at the end of 2009-12-31 to better match the contemporaneous commentary. The rest are minor, with 0003 fixing up spacing in the UNTIL fields of Zone and Zone continuation lines, and with 0004 and 0005 fixing up commentary for consistency. These can be compared at https://github.com/timparenti/tz-experimental/compare/eggert:master...timpa… -- Tim Parenti

It looks like data taken from Milne 1899 are not correct enough for 1919. Data by Byalokoz E.L. are slightly different. I think they are reliable, because in 1919 he was a president of the Russian Committee of Standard Time. The difference may result from the new standard that was accepted in Russia on Jul 3, 1916. > From: Paul Eggert <eggert(a)cs.ucla.edu> > Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2014 19:23:04 -0700 > Subject: [PATCH] Correct time in Russia before 1927 or so. > > (Thanks to Vladimir Karpinsky for the Moscow corrections.) > Other corrections are taken from Milne 1899. > * asia (Asia/Tbilisi): Change LMT from 2:59:16 to 2:59:06. > (Asia/Tashkent): Change LMT from 4:37:12 to 4:37:11. > * europe (Europe/Helsinki): Change LMT from 1:39:52 to 1:39:49. > (Europe/Riga): Change LMT from 1:36:24 to 1:36:28. > (Europe/Moscow): Change LMT from 2:30:20 to 2:30:17. > Change 1916/9 time from 2:30:48 to 2:31:19. > (Asia/Yekaterinburg): Change LMT from 4:02:24 to 4:02:33. > (Asia/Irkutsk): Change LMT from 6:57:20 to 6:57:15. > (Asia/Vladivostok): Change LMT from 8:47:44 to 8:47:34. > * zone.tab (Europe/Moscow): Use Kilometer 0 point. > * NEWS: Document this.
