File format
by Philip Warner Nov. 28, 2006

Nov. 28, 2006

Another silly question, but is the format of the zone text files (eg. australasia etc) documented somewhere...I have a quick look in the files themselves, but could not find much....apologies if the answer is obvious, but I've looked in several files.

Suggestions about separation and ISO code
by Jonas Melian Nov. 27, 2006

Nov. 27, 2006

Some suggestions: 1) To using ISO 3166 3-character country code becasuse is more readable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1 For any person it's easier to identify a country by the code of 3-letters that by the one of 2-letters. 2) Columns separated by another character different of a tab, as ':'. So it's more readable for humans and too for the machines. And so it's easier to maintain that table. I comment you these suggestions because I have something of experience with this type of tables as you can see here: http://webda.python-hosting.com/browser/trunk/data Greetings!

Updated timezone info for Western Australia DST trial
by Mark Glossop Nov. 27, 2006

Nov. 27, 2006

Hello, I've recently been tasked with managing the update of our Unix machines to cope with the recently announced (re)introduction of DST in Western Australia - yes, we've been given less than 2 weeks to prepare for the start of the trial period this year :-( Please find attached a copy of the updated "australasia" file that contains the appropriate modifications (it's based on the 2006o timezone information.) Feel free to contact me with any questions or clarifications - I've tested this file as best I can but would not be surprised if more experienced eyes see problems with it. Best regards, Mark -- Mark Glossop Systems Administrator FAHSS Faculty Computing, UWA E: Mark.Glossop(a)uwa.edu.au P: +61 8 6488 2092 M: +61 4 0028 3252 IM: theonlycueball(a)mac.com (AIM)

Daylight savings time change in Western Australia
by Benno Rice Nov. 24, 2006

Nov. 24, 2006

Western Australia is trialling daylight savings for the next three years. They're planning to switch in on December 3 and then follow the same sort of rules as most of the other Australian states that use DST. The attached diff should implement this, at least for the trial period. -- Benno Rice benno(a)jeamland.net http://jeamland.net/
