Please add timezone for Ufa. It's just like Asia/Yekaterinburg timezone except that Ufa is located in EUROPE.
This is an interesting case, but the Theory file says [...]
OTOH, we made a precedent with Istambul:
From europe: Link Europe/Istanbul Asia/Istanbul # Istanbul is in both continents.
I know the case of Istambul (as a city) is very uncommon ;-). But I also know that the main part of Turkey is in Asia, so Turkishs in Ankara will be very upset to set theirs clocks to Europe/Istambul... I do not know how big is Ufa (and the relative size of European part of this time zone relative to the Asian part), but that may be a point to consider (i.e. is it the same as Egypt, or the same as Turkey, to be excessive?) Bottom line: unless the Asian part of Yekateriburg is larger than 10 millions inhabitants (arbitrary limit), I consider we should avoid adding this link. Also, Mr Qinglong, please note you can easily customize your own configuration by compiling (using zic) the following source: #%/usr/bin/zic Link Asia/Yekaterinburg Europe/Ufa Quite convenient, isn't it?
