Given Monday's mail about Syria, here are revised proposed changes to time zone files; these changes are relative to tzdata2008a.tar.gz.
* asia * Iraq abandons DST * Syria switched (from 2008 forward) to start DST at the start of the first Friday in April and end DST at the start of October 1. * "Saigon" zone renamed "Ho_Chi_Minh" * backward * backward link from "Ho_Chi_Minh" to "Saigon" * northamerica * Change Cuba (from 2008 forward) to start DST the third Sunday in March. * southamerica * Add America/Argentina/San_Luis information. * zone.tab * Entry added for America/Argentina/San_Luis * Asia/Saigon entry renamed Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh
I hope to make tzdata2008b.tar.gz available 2008-03-24.
There was the question about Asia/Calcutta vs Asia/Kalkotta - any plans to modify things (presumably if it changes, make Asia/Kalkotta the official name and leave Asia/Calcutta in the backwards link section)? That would affect files asia, zone.list and zone.tab, AFAICS. -- Jonathan Leffler <jonathan.leffler@gmail.com> #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix - v2008.0229 - http://dbi.perl.org "Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves, for we shall never cease to be amused."
