update zonerules for Brazil
by Reinald Verheij Sept. 26, 2006

Sept. 26, 2006

Hi, I understood that Brazil will enter DST at November 5 0:00 2006. This is because of elections (just like 2002). The timezone rules say "first Sunday on or after october 15". So there is a mismatch. Is there an update available for the zonerules for Brazil? I did not find it on the ftp site of elsie.nci.nih.gov. Reinald Verheij Infor

proposed tz data changes for Egypt, Syria, Uruguay (revised)
by Paul Eggert Sept. 20, 2006

Sept. 20, 2006

Here is the latest set of proposed changes for Egypt, Syria, and Uruguay. This supersedes the two messages I sent out earlier on this subject in <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.time.tz/1224> and <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.time.tz/1221>. I'd like to thank Steffen Thorsen, Oscar van Vlijmen, and Jesper Norgaard Welen for reading and correcting the earlier messages. This change affects time stamps within the next 48 hours in Egypt and Syria, so people interested in up-to-date correctness in those regions need to apply this patch soon. =================================================================== RCS file: RCS/africa,v retrieving revision 2006.12 retrieving revision 2006.12.0.1 diff -pu -r2006.12 -r2006.12.0.1 --- africa 2006/09/18 16:58:11 2006.12 +++ africa 2006/09/20 19:35:29 2006.12.0.1 @@ -212,35 +212,13 @@ Rule Egypt 1990 1994 - May 1 1:00 1:00 # Go with IATA starting in 1995, except correct 1995 entry from 09-30 to 09-29.
