Dear Paul, I've send a copy of presidential decret for Summer time changes for the Republic of Chile, officially published at August 13th 2022: https://www.diariooficial.interior.gob.cl/publicaciones/2022/08/13/43327/01… I've review your update 2022b TZdata and it's ok for this year where the summer time starts the second saturday of September ( Sep 10th at midnight), but the next years ( 2023 to 2026 ) is need to precise that the summer time event affects only for this year according to avoid problem confusions to a Votation Day schedule to the next sunday Sept 4th (the original summer time change was schedule at Saturday Sep 3th midnight). Also consider this also affects to Easter Island Time Zone (Pacific/Easter) and not affects to Chile/Punta_Arenas Time Zone. At resume (page #2 of document): 2022: - Chile/Continental ( America/Santiago ): Summer time starts at Saturday 10th Sep. at 24:00 Hrs, adding 1hour ( GMT -03) - Chile/Easter (Pacific/Easter) : Summer time starts at Saturday 10th Sep. at 22:00 Hrs, adding 1hour ( GMT -05) - Chile/Punta_Arenas (America/Punta_Arenas): No changes, keeps on GMT -03 2023-2025 - Chile/Continental ( America/Santiago ): Summer time ends at first saturday of Abril 24:00 Hrs, backward 1hour ( GMT -04) , and Summer time starts the first saturday of September at 24:00 , adding 1hour ( GMT -03) - Chile/Easter (Pacific/Easter) : Summer time ends at first saturday of Abril at 22:00 Hrs, backward 1hour ( GMT -06), and Summer time starts the first saturday of September at 24:00 , adding 1hour ( GMT -05) - Chile/Punta_Arenas (America/Punta_Arenas): No changes , keeps on GMT -03 2026: - Chile/Continental ( America/Santiago ): Summer time ends at first saturday of Abril 24:00 Hrs, backward 1hour ( GMT -04) - Chile/Easter (Pacific/Easter) : Summer time ends at first saturday of Abril at 22:00 Hrs, backward 1hour ( GMT -06) (the decret has no mentions for future time changes plans) - Chile/Punta_Arenas (America/Punta_Arenas): No changes , keeps on GMT -03 I've check the rules on southamerica file , but i'm not sure if apply correctly for Easter Island changes Rule Chile 2019 max - Apr Sun>=2 3:00u 0 - Rule Chile 2019 2021 - Sep Sun>=2 4:00u 1:00 - Rule Chile 2022 only - Sep Sun>=9 4:00u 1:00 - Rule Chile 2023 max - Sep Sun>=2 4:00u 1:00 - [...] Zone Pacific/Easter -7:17:28 - LMT 1890 -7:17:28 - EMT 1932 Sep # Easter Mean Time -7:00 Chile -07/-06 1982 Mar 14 3:00u # Easter Time -6:00 Chile -06/-05 I'm very appreciated your assistance for this changes.

Re: [tz] tzdata 2022b and 2022c location

However, the latest release there is 2022a. Are 2022b and 2022c not officially released or may be changed location? I suspect that you're talking about ICU's files concerning time zones as opposed to the tzdata files themselves, as the repository you mention stopped mirroring tzdata files after tzdata 2011k. ICU is downstream from tzdata and an ICU forum would be a good place to ask about ICU's status. A request for ICU to update to match tzdata 2022b (and 2022c) is here: https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/ICU-22118 and I expect you can monitor and/or comment there. Currently nobody is assigned to the task.

[tz-announce] 2022c release of tz code and data available
by Paul Eggert via tz-announce Aug. 16, 2022

Aug. 16, 2022

The 2022c release of the tz code and data is available. This release reflects the following changes, which do not affect timestamps unless your system has the awk bug mentioned below: Briefly: Work around awk bug in FreeBSD, macOS, etc. Improve tzselect on intercontinental Zones. Changes to code Work around a bug in onetrueawk that broke commands like 'make traditional_tarballs' on FreeBSD, macOS, etc. (Problem reported by Deborah Goldsmith.) Add code to tzselect that uses experimental structured comments in zone1970.tab to clarify whether Zones like Africa/Abidjan and Europe/Istanbul cross continent or ocean boundaries. (Inspired by a problem reported by Peter Krefting.) Fix bug with 'zic -d /a/b/c' when /a is unwritable but the directory /a/b already exists. Remove zoneinfo2tdf.pl, as it was unused and triggered false malware alarms on some email servers. Here are links to the release files: https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzcode2022c.tar.gz https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzdata2022c.tar.gz https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/releases/tzdb-2022c.tar.lz The following convenience links are also available, although they may point to the previous release until the relevant caches are refreshed: https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzcode-latest.tar.gz https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzdata-latest.tar.gz https://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzdb-latest.tar.lz Links are also available via plain HTTP, and via FTP from ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases with the same basenames as above.

If your tzdata parser does not yet support negative DST offsets or times past 24:00, or if it insists on a 'pacificnew' file that is no longer present, this release's data entries can be turned into a rearguard-format tarball that should work even with these older parsers. This is intended to be a temporary transition aid for these parsers. To generate a rearguard-format tarball, obtain the full distribution as described above, and run the command 'make DATAFORM=rearguard tailored_tarballs' on a development host. Or you can run 'make rearguard.zi' to generate a single file that can be fed directly to a parser that works like 'zic'.

The following shell command: zdump -i $(awk '/^Zone/{print $2}' main.zi) | awk 'o!="" && $3!="" && o!=$3 {print o, $3} {o = $3}' | sort -u prints output that should help answer your question. Each line of output is a distinct pair of (before, after) %z-style abbreviations that is observed somewhere in tzdb. I get 579 lines of output with current tzdb.

Trivial questions about Tz
by dpatte Aug. 15, 2022

Aug. 15, 2022

I was just curious... Generally, when a region comes off Daylight/Summer time, the wall time is set back, causing a wall clock to repeat a portion of wall times (albeit with a different time abbreviation). Likewise, if a region elects a new GMT offset that is further west than before, the wall time is also set back, also causing a repeat of wall times (again with a different time abbreviation). Are there any known cases in the tz database where two close offset and save changes in one region cause wall times in that region to have not just one but two repeats of the original wall times, such as 3 midnights with the same date? I am also curious what the largest single change to a save-time is in the database, and the largest single change to a GMT offset-time (though I assume the answer to this second one is Western Samoa).

make traditional_tarballs fails on macOS for 2022b

Time in Eucla (Western Australia)

A friend has relatives driving towards Perth (from eastern AU). They sent him the attached photo (after I asked if they could confirm the time there as they passed through) from the local motel entrance. This is just a confirmation of what we already knew. Photo date is 13 August 2022; since it is a photo of clocks, the time is self evident (note, daylight, not near midnight). kre

If the directory /a/b already exists, it is not an error if /a is unwritable when you invoke zic -d /a/b/c. Problem found on Solaris 10, where mkdir("/a", ...) can fail with EACCES in this situation, which POSIX allows. * NEWS: Mention the fix. * private.h (ELOOP) [!ELOOP]: Define to EINVAL. * zic.c (mkdirs): Do not fail merely because mkdir fails with errno == EACCES, as the parent directory may already exist but be unwritable.
