[worc0223@sable.ox.ac.uk] libc/537: Zone file for London is incorrect
by Ulrich Drepper March 30, 1998

March 30, 1998

Hi, We got today the appended bug report. The time code seems to work correctly according to the timezone data and since the reporter seems to be from the UK the data might be wrong. Any comment on this? Thanks, -- Uli ---------------. drepper at gnu.org ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Cygnus Solutions `--' drepper at cygnus.com `------------------------

Timezones for Romania
by Matei Conovici March 29, 1998

March 29, 1998

Hi! While trying to understand why some of our machines did not switch to DST, I noticed this part in the "europe" file ... # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Europe/Bucharest 1:44:24 - LMT 1891 Oct 1:44 - BMT 1931 Jul 24 # Bucharest MT 2:00 Romania EET%s 1981 Mar 29 2:00s 2:00 M-Eur EET%s # This may change to `E-Eur' soon, for EC compatibility. And I can certify that M-Eur was indeed changed to E-Eur, I believe since last october (not sure though). Anyway, today (29 Mar -> lastSun), 3:00 local time turned into 4:00 local time. This looks like it's E-Eur, and not M-Eur: Rule M-Eur 1981 max - Mar lastSun 2:00s 1:00 " DST" Rule M-Eur 1996 max - Oct lastSun 2:00s 0 - Rule E-Eur 1981 max - Mar lastSun 3:00s 1:00 " DST" Rule E-Eur 1996 max - Oct lastSun 3:00s 0 - I found the file on a solaris machine. Where can one find the most recent timezone definitions ?

British Summer Time - completing the legislative jigsaw
by Joseph S. Myers March 26, 1998

March 26, 1998

I have located the 1922 Summer Time Order (Statutory Rules and Orders 1922 number 264), the last remaining untraced piece of UK legislation on Summer Time, in the Public Record Office (PRO: HO 45/11079/418515). This confirms the start and end of British Summer Time in 1922 to be Sunday 26 March to Sunday 8 October, both at 02:00 GMT. The file contains ten copies of the Order (one signed and bearing a seal), and one of the 1921 Order, but none of the Isle of Man order (S. R. & O. 1922 no. 290), which is as yet untraced. The papers in that file include letters instructing that copies of the Order be communicated to the Channel Islands, which suggests that Summer Time may have been used there. There are several files on Summer Time in HO 45 (Home Office Registered Papers) that I have not yet looked at; these are indexed under "Daylight Savings" with no cross-reference from "Summer Time". HO 380 (Summer Time and Calendars) contains files from 1962 to 1967. (The Order states that the termination of the War was defined as 31 August 1921 (!), which means that it was made within the powers of the War Emergency Laws (Continuance) Act.) People seeking copies of the Summer Time Orders should note that the following are not in the annual volumes: SR&O 1917 No. 362, SR&O 1921 No. 363, SR&O 1921 No. 364 - get from the Statutory Publications Office. SR&O 1922 No. 264 - get from the PRO (in HO 45/11079/418515). SR&O 1922 No. 290 - untraced. SR&O 1940 No. 172, SR&O 1944 No. 932, SR&O 1945 No. 312, SI 1948/495, SI 1949/373, SI 1950/518, SI 1951/430, SI 1951/451 - get from the British Library. -- Joseph S.

Timezone Database Online?
by rwk＠americom.com March 26, 1998

March 26, 1998

I ran across your this address as a source of up to date timezone information, world wide. Can you refer me to a URL with more information... Or one for a complete up-to-date and authoritative database of timezones, their names, offsets from GMT, and when/if they use summer hours (daylight savings time)? Can you tell me also... Are the dates "summer hours" go into effect standardized worldwide? And if not, is there any source for this information? We would like to be able to compute the current time (in any timezone) taking the possibility of "summer hours" into account. Thanks for any help, Dick Kreutzer AmeriCom Inc.

proposed tz changes for Brazil DST, Asia/Gaza, tzfile.5, and comments
by Paul Eggert Feb. 27, 1998

Feb. 27, 1998

It's time to update tz, as the clocks in much of Brazil do not currently agree with what tz claims. Here's a proposed patch that address the following issues that have accumulated over time. * Update the rules for Brazil's summer of 1997-1998, thanks to Daniel C. Sobral <dcs(a)gns.com.br>. Now the Pope is getting into the daylight-saving act! * Change Asia/Gaza to use Jordan's DST rules starting in 1996, and observe the Zion rules from 1940 through 1947, as suggested by Amos Shapir <amos(a)nsof.co.il>. * Mention size of reserved-for-future-use space in tzfile.5, as suggested by Denis Excoffier <Denis.Excoffier(a)ens.fr>. * The CIA no longer claims that Uzbekistan has two time zones, so remove commentary dismissing that claim. * Use comment headings that reflect the ISO country code table more accurately for UK/Eire, Denmark, Faeroe, Greenland, Svalbard, Jan Mayen, China, Taiwan, Korea (North and South), US minor outlying islands, and French Southern & Antarctic Lands. This was suggested by Dave Skinner <dave(a)kirdu.jpl.nasa.gov>. Palestine is still a special case; it has no ISO country code but has its own section regardless, as I expect it to get a country code eventually. * Update and correct URLs, some of which have become outdated. I still have two big tasks in my in-box: Law's data and Olson's suggestion for automatically maintaining last-changed times; these will have to wait until I get more free time. =================================================================== RCS file: RCS/antarctica,v retrieving revision 1998.2 retrieving revision 1998.2.1.1 diff -c -r1998.2 -r1998.2.1.1 *** antarctica 1998/01/17 19:27:24 1998.2 --- antarctica 1998/02/27 02:12:05 1998.2.1.1 *************** *** 51,60 **** 6:00 - MAWT # Mawson Time # References: # <a href="http://www.antdiv.gov.au/aad/exop/sfo/casey/casey_aws.html"> ! # http://www.antdiv.gov.au/aad/exop/sfo/casey/casey_aws.html (1996-07-15) # </a> # <a href="http://www.antdiv.gov.au/aad/exop/sfo/mawson/video.html"> ! # http://www.antdiv.gov.au/aad/exop/sfo/mawson/video.html (1996-04-19) # </a> # Brazil - year-round base --- 51,60 ---- 6:00 - MAWT # Mawson Time # References: # <a href="http://www.antdiv.gov.au/aad/exop/sfo/casey/casey_aws.html"> ! # Casey Weather (1998-02-26) # </a> # <a href="http://www.antdiv.gov.au/aad/exop/sfo/mawson/video.html"> ! # Mawson Station, Antarctica (1998-02-25) # </a> # Brazil - year-round base *************** *** 78,84 **** # don't observe daylight saving time, even if Terre Adelie supplies came # from Tasmania. # ! # French Southern Territories with year-round inhabitants # # Martin-de-Vivies Base, Amsterdam Island, -374105+0773155, since 1950 # Alfred-Faure Base, Crozet Islands, -462551+0515152, since 1964 --- 78,84 ---- # don't observe daylight saving time, even if Terre Adelie supplies came # from Tasmania. # ! # French Southern & Antarctic Lands with year-round inhabitants # # Martin-de-Vivies Base, Amsterdam Island, -374105+0773155, since 1950 # Alfred-Faure Base, Crozet Islands, -462551+0515152, since 1964 *************** *** 104,110 **** 10:00 - DDUT # Dumont-d'Urville Time # Reference: # <a href="http://www.icair.iac.org.nz/science/reports/fr/IFRTP.html"> ! # Support and Development of Polar Research and Technology (1996-09-10) # </a> --- 104,110 ---- 10:00 - DDUT # Dumont-d'Urville Time # Reference: # <a href="http://www.icair.iac.org.nz/science/reports/fr/IFRTP.html"> ! # Support and Development of Polar Research and Technology (1997-02-03) # </a> *************** *** 212,220 **** # at that time (1957).

Therefore the rules given for Israel for that period, apply there too. (Though I find the name "Zion" rather inappropriate -- why not just call it "Israel" or "Palestine"?) The Gaza Strip was under Egyptian rule between 1948/5/15 until 1967/6/5 (except a short occupation by Israel from 1956/11 till 1957/3, but no time zone was affected then). It was never formally annexed to Egypt, though. The rest of Palestine was under Jordanian rule at that time, formally annexed in 1950 as the West Bank (and the word "Trans" was dropped from the country's previous name of "the Hashemite Kingdom of the Trans-Jordan"). So the rules for Jordan for that time apply. Major towns in that area are Nablus (Shchem), El-Halil (Hebron), Ramallah, and East Jerusalem. Both areas were occupied by Israel in June 1967, but not annexed (except for East Jerusalem). They were on Israel time since then; there might have been a Military Governor's order about time zones, but I'm not aware of any (such orders may have been issued semi-annually whenever summer time was in effect, but maybe the legal aspect of time was just neglected). The Palestinian Authority was established in 1993, and got hold of most towns in the West Bank and Gaza by 1995. I know that in order to demonstrate some manner of independence, they have been switching to summer time and back on a different schedule than Israel's, but I don't know when this was started, or what algorithm is used (most likely the Jordanian one). To summarize, the table should probably look something like that: Area \ when | 1918-1947 | 1948-1967 | 1967-1995 | 1996- ------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------- Israel | Zion | Zion | Zion | Zion West bank | Zion | Jordan | Zion | Jordan Gaza | Zion | Egypt | Zion | Jordan I guess more info may be available from the PA's web page (if/when they have one). -- Amos Shapir Paper: nSOF Parallel Software, Ltd.

In the asia file you include: > # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] > Zone Asia/Gaza 2:17:52 - LMT 1900 Oct > 2:00 - EET 1957 May 10 > 2:00 EgyptAsia EE%sT 1967 Jun 30 > 2:00 Zion I%sT From 1917 until 1948/5/15, all of Palestine, including the parts now known as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, was under British rule. Therefore the rules given for Israel for that period, apply there too. (Though I find the name "Zion" rather inappropriate -- why not just call it "Israel" or "Palestine"?) The Gaza Strip was under Egyptian rule between 1948/5/15 until 1967/6/5 (except a short occupation by Israel from 1956/11 till 1957/3, but no time zone was affected then). It was never formally annexed to Egypt, though. The rest of Palestine was under Jordanian rule at that time, formally annexed in 1950 as the West Bank (and the word "Trans" was dropped from the country's previous name of "the Hashemite Kingdom of the Trans-Jordan"). So the rules for Jordan for that time apply. Major towns in that area are Nablus (Shchem), El-Halil (Hebron), Ramallah, and East Jerusalem. Both areas were occupied by Israel in June 1967, but not annexed (except for East Jerusalem). They were on Israel time since then; there might have been a Military Governor's order about time zones, but I'm not aware of any (such orders may have been issued semi-annually whenever summer time was in effect, but maybe the legal aspect of time was just neglected). The Palestinian Authority was established in 1993, and got hold of most towns in the West Bank and Gaza by 1995. I know that in order to demonstrate some manner of independence, they have been switching to summer time and back on a different schedule than Israel's, but I don't know when this was started, or what algorithm is used (most likely the Jordanian one). To summarize, the table should probably look something like that: Area \ when | 1918-1947 | 1948-1967 | 1967-1995 | 1996- ------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------- Israel | Zion | Zion | Zion | Zion West bank | Zion | Jordan | Zion | Jordan Gaza | Zion | Egypt | Zion | Jordan I guess more info may be available from the PA's web page (if/when they have one). -- Amos Shapir Paper: nSOF Parallel Software, Ltd.
