Tucumán went back last weekend.
Since Tucuman is splitting from {La Rioja, San Juan, San Luis, Chubut}, we'll need another tz name for the latter set. By far the largest city in that region is San Juan, but "America/San Juan" is too ambiguous (Argentina? Puerto Rico?) so it appears we'll have to create an Argentina subdirectory to remove the ambiguity.
I'm considering going with these names:
America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires America/Argentina/Cordoba America/Argentina/Tucuman America/Argentina/San_Juan America/Argentina/Jujuy America/Argentina/Catamarca America/Argentina/Mendoza America/Argentina/Rio_Gallegos
with links in the 'backward' file for the traditional names like America/Buenos_Aires. Comments? I'm fine with it... my only regret is that this nonsense should be so easily avoided... but common sense and politics don't seem to mix, somehow :-(
What's more, Tierra del Fuego is studying also the possibility.... I'll try to keep you posted :-/
Thanks for letting us know. If Tierra del Fuego splits from Santa Cruz, I guess we'll need a separate entry America/Argentina/Ushuaia.
That'd be right... so far, I haven't heard a confirmation (nor a denial) that Tierra del Fuego would go back... I guess they will resolve something as soon as you publish the next release :-) -- Mariano Absatz - El Baby mailto:baby@baby.com.ar http://www.baby.com.ar/ PGP KEYS: http://www.baby.com.ar/datos/personales.html#claves_pgp |\ _ _\\/'> Powered by Pegasus Mail /|__) http://www.pmail.com ) )\ ----------------------------------------------------------- Everyone must believe in something.
