Below find proposed time zone packages for "asia" (end of DST in Pakistan in 2009, as provided by Petr Machata with very slight normalization) and "southamerica" (adding comments on the situation in Argentina for 2009-2010 from Alexander Krivenyshev and yours truly). If no problems are found, expect these changes to show up in the ftpable archive on 2009-09-28. --ado ------- asia ------- *** /tmp/geta29860 Tue Sep 22 15:05:39 2009 --- /tmp/getb29860 Tue Sep 22 15:05:39 2009 *************** *** 1,5 **** # <pre> ! # @(#)asia 8.40 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. --- 1,5 ---- # <pre> ! # @(#)asia 8.41 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. *************** *** 1674,1681 **** # advance clocks in the country by one hour from April 15 to # conserve energy" ! # From Arthur David Olson (2009-04-10): ! # Assume for now that Pakistan will end DST in 2009 as it did in 2008. # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S Rule Pakistan 2002 only - Apr Sun>=2 0:01 1:00 S --- 1674,1688 ---- # advance clocks in the country by one hour from April 15 to # conserve energy" ! # From Steffen Thorsen (2009-09-17): ! # "The News International," Pakistan reports that: "The Federal ! # Government has decided to restore the previous time by moving the ! # clocks backward by one hour from October 1.
