Chile extends DST due to drought
by Paul Eggert March 7, 2008

March 7, 2008

The Associated Press reports that yesterday Chile announced it will extend DST this year due to a drought, until the last Saturday in March. Does anybody have details? Here's the URL I used for the AP report (though it may not work for you: AP Google URLs are unreliable in my experience): http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gvriCVJJJ0RYvhGDq06v1nEykPDgD8ULKSI80 Without further info, I guess I would assume that DST will end in Chile and in Easter Island on March 30 at 03:00 UTC.

Time zone database update suggestion
by RICK MCDERMID March 7, 2008

March 7, 2008

It occurs to me that it would be very helpful if the TZ database could include a "Last updated [date]" comment with each set of rules and/or TZ history. Hope this suggestion is not off the wall. Thanks for your consideration. Rick McDermid Chilliwack BC Canada rickmcdermid(a)shaw.ca

In order to be clear. The Supreme Decree says that Saturday 29 at 24:00 the time must be changed to 23:00. But, Sat 29 24:00 (-0300) is Sun 30 03:00 (0000). Still releasing the changes by Sunday would be too late. Attached the fixed patch. (I just modified the diff file, changing 29 by 30). Sorry for the noise. -- Germán Poó Caamaño Concepción - Chile

José Miguel Garrido's electronic mail and work with zdump made me realize that since... the Chilean transitions are supposed to happen at the end of Saturday, March 29 (24:00 in America/Santiago, 22:00 in Pacific/Easter) the Chilean transitions are specified using Universal time and it's already March 30 in Univeral time near the end of March 29 in Chile ...that March 30 is what needs to appear in the file. So, with providence, the final proposed Chile change (with commentary added).

Germán Poó-Caamaño's proposed changes cite the latest government sources and get the peculiar Saturday (rather than Sunday) transition date right; below find the revised patch (relative to the tzdata2007k.tar.gz file) reflecting Germán's work.
