tz-link.html mentions TimeZoneDB under "Time zone boundaries" but it'd be good to also mention their CSV and SQL downloads. I installed the attached proposed patch to try to do that.
in Italy there are 3 zones, not only ROME but also Palermo (Sicily island complete) and Cagliari (Sardinia island complete), which differ from each other, also if slightly in time. How can I add these two zones to the data ?
Because these zones are identical to Europe/Rome for timestamps after 1970, they're out of scope for tzdb proper <https://data.iana.org/time-zones/theory.html#scope>. However, we do have a file 'backzone' for out-of-scope data (this file is not normally used in tzdb installations). So you can send in a patch for that file if you like, preferably in 'git format-patch' form. See Europe/Belfast for an example of what might appear in 'backzone'.
