posix timestamp compatibility library for systems using right timestamp
by Marek Behun Feb. 12, 2014

Feb. 12, 2014

Hello, I have written a small POSIX timestamp compatibility library for glibc/linux systems which use right timestamp on system clock (and also a 'right/' timezone). By executing a program with LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/time2posix.so environment variable the program can still use a 'posix/' timezone and display system time correctly (system calls for getting/setting system time are patched byt time2posix.so). I wrote this library primarily for synchronizing time from NTP servers that use UTC. This way, when using for example ntpdate to synchronize from such a server, ntpdate doesn't have to be patched to synchronize to right timestamp (instead of posix). The library could also be used on programs that cannot use 'right/' timezone (for example PostgreSQL can't handle leap seconds and therefore won't accept a 'right/' timezone in configuration). For that though more system call patches need to be implemented. The sources can be found at https://github.com/elkablo/time2posix I would like to know if I should continue developing this library or if there are other ways of synchronizing to right timestamp correctly, or if right timestamp and consequently right timezones aren't used at all.

Glibc 2.19 adds support for version 3 tz format
by Paul Eggert Feb. 12, 2014

Feb. 12, 2014

The GNU C Library version 2.19, released February 8, adds support for version-3 format tz binary files. I thought I'd give this list a heads-up, in case other C-library maintainers are lurking and want to keep up with the Joneses. As you may recall, version 3 is a minor extension to the binary format, which adds support for some less-common timekeeping practices. So far, the only tz-database timestamps affected by this change are time stamps after the year 2037 in America/Godthab with tz data 2013e or later. These time stamps cannot be described by a POSIX TZ string, so version 3 uses the quasi-POSIX string 'WGT3WGST,M3.5.0/-2,M10.5.0/-1'. The glibc 2.19 announcement is at <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-02/msg00224.html>. More details about this change can be found at <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15968>.

Re: [tz] CIA confused about Cedros Island time zone?

If so it probably has its roots in the original CIA error. http://www.gcmap.com/airport/CDI shows it to be Pacific Time, UTC-8 (DST-7). I've sent an email to the two airlines that report offering charter service to the Island, seeking clarification. The airport itself appears to be just an unmanned paved airstrip, so I don't know who else to contact for confirmation. Regards, Steve Jones []

CIA confused about Cedros Island time zone?
by vanadovv＠hetnet.nl Feb. 5, 2014

Feb. 5, 2014

Re: [tz] CIA confused about Cedros Island time zone? Steve Jones stevejones at OnTimeZone.com Sun Feb 2 23:41:18 UTC 2014 ....... That map, and the maps it was derived from (including the original source, the CIA) show Cedros Island as being UTC-7 (as if it were in Baja Sur, not Baja). The border between Baja and Baja Sur is on the 28th parallel, which lies south of Cedros Island. Baja is in the Pacific Time zone, UTC-8. Baja Sur is in the Mountain time zone, UTC-7. I find multiple references confirming that Cedros Island is part of Baja, thus UTC-8. I find no references making any allusion to the official or unofficial observed time on the island to be other than UTC-8. .... My 2 cents: (1) Isla Cedros is part of Ensenada, Baja California http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isla_Cedros (2) The aeroport seems to be on UTC-7 http://worldaerodata.com/wad.cgi?id=MX00386&sch=MM10 Oscar van Vlijmen

This seems to be a significant error, not I presume the type the CIA normally makes... so I am wondering if I've missed something. Thoughts? Regards, Steve Jones, St. Louis, MO Emacs!
