A FreeBSD contributor avers that the then-DDR began observing summer time a year [earlier|later] than the BRD, and further claims that the correct BRD start date should be 1979, not 1980 (and this the DDR would be [1978|1980]). (I have since deleted the message so I don't recall which direction the difference was.) According to the existing practice, then, there should be a different rule for locations which were in the DDR. I have no notion of which would be the most populous city in this case, but perhaps <joerg@freebsd.org> can provide more detailed information. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
