Re: Proposed Shortening of Daylight Savings Time [Israel 2002]

A few days ago, this snippet passed my way, which I'm sure the members of the tz list are already familiar with: > While today the Knesset passed the initial proposal to reduce DST > by some three weeks, a new compromise is being worked out between > Minister of Justice Meir Sheetrit and Minister of Interior Eli Yishai > to revert to standard time for a period of 48-96 _hours_ (sic) around > the Yom Kippur fast day (September 15-16) and then go *back* to DST > until the end of October. The details of the proposal have yet to be > worked out, but the second and final readings of the bill have until > July 24 to pass. That announcement prompted this reflection: I've occasionally wondered how much the deployment of our favorite tz package was slowed (back before it was as widespread as it is now, that is) by a perception that it was overkill. "Yes, there have been some historical quirks with time zones and DST in the past, and we used to be at the mercy of lawmakers who didn't know better, but now that everyone knows what a bad idea irregular times are, surely there won't be any more of them going forward, so we can use a minimal, compiled-in table of the historical quirks, and avoid all of these dynamically-loaded tables and associated overhead." If the 48-96 hour version of the Israeli bill passes, I'm thinking that Arthur David Olsen ought to get the Turing Award.

Proposed Shortening of Daylight Savings Time [Israel 2002]
by Ephraim Silverberg July 7, 2002

July 7, 2002

The Israeli government today adopted a proposal by Minister of Interior Eli Yishai to shorten the period of Daylight Savings Time for the year 2002 (only -- the dates for 2003 and 2004 are, so far, unaffected). The proposed date to Daylight Savings Time is September 13, 2002 instead of the current date: October 7, 2002. The hour of changeover has not yet been decided.

Obtaining offset given location string (via library call?)
by Clark C . Evans July 3, 2002

July 3, 2002

Hello. I'm looking for a "C" function I can call (ideally from Python, but I can write a wrapper) which returns for me the current offset from UTC given one of the location strings, such as "Australia/Sydney". Any ideas? I was very hopeful with "zdump" however what I need is the offset (yes, I could probably hack the offset from the output of zdump) and further, I'd rather not have to start a new process to obtain this information, thus having it in library form would be perfect. Thank you so much! Clark

Question concerning Daylight Saving Time in the Bahamas
by John Griswold June 23, 2002

June 23, 2002

Hi,, I have been reading the Daylight Saving Time tables (at http://stat.tamu.edu/ftp/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/northamerica) that are on the internet and saw your email address. I am doing some research on the Bahamas. Am I correct in my reading of the tables for North America that the Bahamas were not observing Daylight Saving Time in 1959? It seems that the table is saying that the Bahamas did not observe it until 1964. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. I have also sent this message to Paul Eggert, but I don't know if he is still working on this Daylight Saving Time table project. Thank you, John Griswold

Help! Can someone explain the algorithm for TimeZone::operator==? That is, how do you know if two time zones are the same or different? I'm motivated by a UI design issue that's become hot around here. We allow users to select a time zone from a list. In our case, the list come from the ICU package, which I understand uses the same list as the Olsen package. Trouble is, this list is huge and bewildering, with a great deal of apparent redundancy. For example, there are 37 different time zones listed at GMT-04:00. This makes for a usability issue, as it becomes hard to search and confidently select the correct choice. And many are convinced that the long is just wrong because they can see a much shorter one used in Windows. We want to generate a shorter list, but we're also reluctant to just throw out legitimate choices. If two time zones are equivalent, then it's OK to drop one from the list. But how can you tell? How does Windows do it? ---- Regards, Kerry

Fw: HORA DE VERANO EN LA REPUBLICA ARGENTINA.

HORA DE VERANO EN LA REPUBLICA ARGENTINA Hello Alois and Paul Eggert... Well, I have very much work this last months - the opossition Saturn-Pluto is in me X house - and because this I not look very much the problem with time zones in Argentina... Dra. Urbina send to me ine or two weeks ago this document almost precise about this topic, but is in spanish... But is possible Alois you have some person to know Spanish and Paul also... If is a problem, I will attempt to translate, but I not have very much time... One thing is sure, the summer time between 1975 to 1987 (both inclusive) not exist in nothing part of argentina, in this all the astrologers in argentina have total coincidence... And this document below is almost very precise, is a document of a good astrological institute in Buenos Aires... Also you have the official document send by Dra. Urbina months ago... Well Alois and Paul, very thanks and sorry for the delay in answer to you and also me english is not very good... Good day and if any question or thing, let me know... Best regards... Javier Reinoso.... Document of the Astrological Institute Orion - Buenos Aires - Argentina: ----- Original Message ----- From: Dra. Urbina To: Javier Reinoso Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 3:44 AM Subject: HORA DE VERANO EN LA REPUBLICA ARGENTINA. Hola Javier: Nosotros vamos al Instituto naval, y otros lo publican. Pero nosotros tenemos hastael recibo. Un beso Bijou. HORA DE VERANO EN LA REPUBLICA ARGENTINA. El primer decreto nacional que uniformó la hora en la Argentina data del 25 de setiembre de 1894. Por eso, todas las horas de nacimientos y acontecimientos registradas con anterioridad a esta fecha deben ser tomadas con suma cautela, dada la anarquía imperante en cuanto a su registro. Siempre cabe la duda en cuanto a su autenticidad, especialmente en el interior del país, y es prudente aceptar al hora indicada como local media con una aproximación de media hora más o menos. Esto obedece a los siguientes hechos: a) La hora local casi nunca pudo tomarse con verdadera exactitud por falta de instrumentos apropiados de medición como así también de habilidad para su manejo. b) Antes del advenimiento de los ferrocarriles y de los telégrafos, los relojes debían marcar, en teoría, la hora local del lugar, pero en los pueblos la gente solía ajustarla según la del relojero más cercano. A menudo el reloj d este discrepaba con el d su colega en otra parte del pueblo. c) Quienes vivían en lugares apartados se valían de la hora deducida "a ojo" de la posición del Sol o cuadrantes solares o bien ajustaban sus relojes con los de ocasionales viajeros que paseaban por el lugar. Estos, a su vez, habían regulado el suyo de acuerdo con la hora del lugar de partida. d) A partir del advenimiento de los ferrocarriles y telégrafos, y durante el gradual período de su instauración, los pueblos que se encontraban cerca de las estaciones ponían sus relojes de acuerdo a la hora de los trenes que por allí pasaban. Pero ésta, a su vez, se regulaba por la de la estación de partida o la estación terminal, según cual fuese la más cercana. De este modo, en las principales ciudades hubo hasta tres horas distintas, todas en uso para cierto sector de la población: la hora de Buenos Aires, que rigió en virtud de las vías férreas que partían de aquella ciudad; la hora de Córdoba, vigente para todos los telégrafos de la Nación y en varias líneas férreas, y, por último, la hora local. Como, por ejemplo, la diferencia horaria entre Buenos Aires y Córdoba alcanza a 23m. 18s., resultaba que en una reunión de varias personas con relojes que marchaban regularmente podía haber diferencias de hasta media hora. Por otra parte, como hasta 1871 no existieron observatorios astronómicos en nuestro suelo, era casi imposible tomar con exactitud el tiempo medio. El resultado era que todas las ciudades argentinas ponían la hora arbitrariamente. Un principio de orden dentro de esta anarquía empezó a notarse recién en 1891 cuando, por primera vez, el Concejo Deliberante del Municipio de Rosario sancionó, el 13 de octubre de ese año, una ordenanza declarando hora legal de ese municipio el tiempo medio de la ciudad de Córdoba. Siguió a esta importante iniciativa la sanción de la ley provincial de fecha 9 de noviembre de 1892 que fijó como hora legal para todo el territorio de la provincia de Santa Fe el tiempo medio del meridiano del Observatorio de Córdoba. A partir de esta fecha las demás provincias fueron adoptando poco a poco la misma pauta para medir el tiempo. Fueron pasos previos que condujeron a la adopción general de esa hora. Bajo la presidencia de Luis Sáenz Peña se sancionó un decreto que ordenaba a todas las oficinas nacionales regirse, a partir del 1° de noviembre de 1894, por la hora del meridiano del Observatorio Nacional de Córdoba.

Both names should work, so long as "backward" is installed. I noticed that Newsletter V-5 changed the country code for East Timor from TP to TL. I'll propagate that into zone.tab and iso3166.tab in my next proposed patch.
