My recent %z and Africa/Maputo changes overlap somewhat with your work-in-progress changes for Portugal and its former possessions. As penance I attempted to rebase those WIP changes; please see attached. This rebase also attempts to address further comments made last month. In particular: On 2024-03-12 20:12, Tim Parenti wrote:
For Africa/Bissau and Africa/Luanda, where Shanks mistakes the decree date for the transition date, I definitely agree; thanks.
For Africa/Cape_Verde and Africa/Maputo, I think there is still some residual value in mentioning "Shanks said something different", since we aren't sure there wasn't some other law that could have introduced zonal time to any given colony prior to the May 1911 decree.
I did some more research into Africa/Maputo and hope I resolved them in the Africa/Maputo change I installed earlier today. For the other items mentioned above, I adjusted the commentary in the attached, which I have not yet installed. Perhaps it'd be a good time to do a new release soon after this is installed, as that will give more warning to downstream users about the %z change to the main data, before there's anything but historical changes in the represented data.
