I just looked over the map at http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_russia-map-2014-07.html, and it checks out with our textual list with respect to the new offsets taking effect on 2014-10-26. -- Tim Parenti On 23 July 2014 00:04, Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> wrote:
Thank you for the heads-up. Do I understand it correctly that Putin signed it into law unchanged? I.e., no change is needed to the analysis of the draft bill in <http://www.worldtimezone.com/ dst_news/dst_news_russia65.html>?
To get the ball rolling on this, I installed the obvious patch (attached) to the experimental version of the tz database on github. Since the clocks don't change until October, I'd like to give people a week or so to look it over, and then generate a new tz release soon after that. In particular I would like to compare your nice new map against our textual list.
Thanks again.
