zonenow.tab has a very limited set of timezones, so for many countries, the precondition "if at least one of its timezones appear in zonenow.tab" will not be met.
Oh, good point. I was trying to come up with something simple but evidently it needs to be trickier.
Here's an idea. Make the following change to Makefile:
[...]
and then run "make now.ck". Then look at now.ckd/zdump-now.tab to decide whether two timezones have equivalent behavior from now on.
But if I am understanding correctly, this is the part of the problem that I have already solved. I mean, I am already finding pairs of timezones that have equivalent behavior from now on. What I don't know, when I find these, is which ones to keep and which ones to drop. From the example in my original email: for Spain I would keep Europe/Madrid and drop Africa/Ceuta. Another example: for Germany I would keep Europe/Berlin and drop Europe/Busingen. The question is, once I find these "equivalent from now on" timezones (which is the part I solved already), how to make that decision. BR, Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia guille.rodriguez@gmail.com
