Dear Gretchen, The reason is that change the definition for Chilean Time, because will back to a --04 UTC as standard time (before 2014 was this), and the Summer Time will be --03 , between August 2016 to May 2017. So the patch are fine. The zdump patched shows for me: $ zdump -v America/Santiago | grep 2016 America/Santiago Sun May 15 02:59:59 2016 UTC = Sat May 14 23:59:59 2016 CLST isdst=1 gmtoff=-10800 America/Santiago Sun May 15 03:00:00 2016 UTC = Sat May 14 23:00:00 2016 CLT isdst=0 gmtoff=-14400 America/Santiago Sun Aug 14 03:59:59 2016 UTC = Sat Aug 13 23:59:59 2016 CLT isdst=0 gmtoff=-14400 America/Santiago Sun Aug 14 04:00:00 2016 UTC = Sun Aug 14 01:00:00 2016 CLST isdst=1 gmtoff=-10800 Regards/Saludos ----- Mensaje original ----- De: "Gretchen Gottsacker" <gretchen.gottsacker@oracle.com> Para: tz@iana.org Enviados: Miércoles, 11 de Mayo 2016 18:13:19 Asunto: [tz] America/ Santiago possible Correction Greetings, I noticed there may be a discrepancy for the time zone America/ Santiago. As mentioned in the document NEWS “Also, call the period from 2014-09-07 through 2016-05-14 daylight saving time instead of standard time, as that seems more appropriate now.” I believe is an incorrect statement as the link provided on the southamerica document provides these two links http://www.diariooficial.interior.gob.cl/versiones-anteriores/do/20160318/ and http://www.leychile.cl/Navegar?idNorma=1088502 which states that “ as amended by Presidential Decree Nº106, 2015, both the Ministry of the Interior and Public Security, will be extended, as regards the year 2016, until 24 pm the second Saturday of May . Also, starting from the 24 hours of the second Saturday in August 2016 and until 24 pm the second Saturday in May 2017, the official time will advance in 60 minutes” Meaning daylight savings is not active until August 2016.
