Can someone please explain this:
Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Europe/Dublin -0:25:00 - LMT 1880 Aug 2 -0:25:21 - DMT 1916 May 21 2:00 -0:25:21 1:00 IST 1916 Oct 1 2:00s
The last line has -0:25:21 min as the GMT offset - is it possible that the rule name is "1:00" ?
1:00 means a one hour offset added to local standard time. This is documented in the zic man page (http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/zic8.html): RULES/SAVE The name of the rule(s) that apply in the time zone or, alternately, an amount of time to add to local standard time. If this field is - then standard time always applies in the time zone. -- Philip Ross http://tzinfo.rubyforge.org/ -- DST-aware timezone library for Ruby
