suggestion on the timezone lib
by ib＠wupperonline.de April 6, 1997

April 6, 1997

I'm using your timezone package which is great and noticed that during installation a library called 'libz' had been created. Unfortunately that name conflicts with a data compression library (zlib). Wouldn't be 'libtz' a more appropriate name for the library from the (t)ime(z)one packages? Ingo

zoneinfo data for Slovenia/Ljubljana
by Metod Kozelj April 4, 1997

April 4, 1997

Hello, recently I've had a closer look at the timezone info which is available in with the zoneinfo libraries. I've found an error which concerns our country Slovenia. The info says we used 'fixed' Central European Time until 1983. This is not correct. Law, called 'Law on calculating of time', was adopted in october 1982. It efectively put in power the 'EU' rule and thus in 1983 we already had summer time. Therefore, the section concerning Slovenia/Ljubljana should read like this: > # Slovenia > # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] > Zone Europe/Ljubljana 0:58:04 - LMT 1884 > 1:00 - CET 1941 Apr 18 23:00 > 1:00 C-Eur CE%sT 1945 May 8 2:00s > 1:00 1:00 CEST 1945 Sep 16 2:00s > 1:00 - CET 1982 > 1:00 EU CE%sT The same error is present in sections for the following states/towns: Yugoslavia/Belgrade Bosnia and Herzegovina/Sarajevo Macedonia/Skopje Croatia/Zagreb as we have all been in the same state at that time. With kind regards, -- Metod Kozelj Hydrometeorological institute of Slovenia mailto:Metod.Kozelj@rzs-hm.si http://www.rzs-hm.si/people/Metod.Kozelj/

Time zone files in tzdata96i.tar.gz
by Brian Candler March 30, 1997

March 30, 1997

Package: tzdata95i.tar.gz [from RedHat zoneinfo-96i-4.i386.rpm] Symptom: The timezone /usr/lib/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT-6 does not work correctly; if you use it, then set your clock using ntpdate, the system clock is 12 hours out. However if you use a different zoneinfo (e.g. America/Belize) it works fine. I believe the problem is in file "etcetera" in the tzdata package: ... Zone Etc/GMT-6 6 - GMT-6 Zone Etc/GMT-5 5 - GMT-5 Zone Etc/GMT-4 4 - GMT-4 ... Zone Etc/GMT+4 -4 - GMT+4 Zone Etc/GMT+5 -5 - GMT+5 Zone Etc/GMT+6 -6 - GMT+6 ... It appears that the zone offsets in column 3 have the wrong sign - can you check if this is the case? Regards, Brian Candler.
