Hello, This is the first time I've done this so, first up, please excuse my ignorance. I have downloaded ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2011g.tar.gz and ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode2011g.tar.gz Although I find the comments about the changes this year: # From Dan Abitol (2011-03-30): # ...Rules for Africa/Casablanca are the following (24h format) # The 3rd april 2011 at 00:00:00, [it] will be 3rd april 1:00:00 # The 31th july 2011 at 00:59:59, [it] will be 31th July 00:00:00 when I run $ zic -d tzdir/zoneinfo africa and use zdump to look in the file I get $ zdump -v tzdir/zoneinfo/Africa/Casablanca tzdir/zoneinfo/Africa/Casablanca Fri Dec 13 20:45:52 1901 UTC =

also explain why, when I $ zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Casablanca on my Ubuntu PC, I get /usr/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Casablanca Fri Dec 13 20:45:52 1901 UTC = Fri Dec 13 20:15:32 1901 LMT

Fwd: Improvement request: Concordia Station timezone
by Aurelien Jarno May 8, 2011

May 8, 2011

Hi, Please find below a mail from Paolo Perfetti, asking to create a new timezone for the Concordia station in Antartica. It seems there are already a few stations in the antartica file, so I guess it's possible to add a new entry. What information would be needed for that? He is Cc:ed to this mail, so don't hesitate to ask him more details directly.

Summer Time in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre
by Sascha Wildner May 2, 2011

May 2, 2011

Hi list, I just came across a sentence in the German Wikipedia (in the http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Via_Dolorosa article): "Dieser Kreuzweg wird von den Franziskanern in einer täglich Prozession ab 15:00 Uhr, während der Sommerzeit um 16:00 Uhr (da die Sommerzeit in der Grabeskirche nicht gilt), gebetet." It roughly translates as: "This Way of the Cross is being prayed by the Franciscans in a daily procession starting at 15:00, 16:00 during Summer Time (because Summer Time isn't observed in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre)." Does anyone have more information on this ("Summer Time isn't observed in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre"). Was it ever discussed here? Does it affect the tz database? Best regards, Sascha -- http://yoyodyne.ath.cx
