Hi ! According to Wikipedia [1] it's very unlikely to have a regular pattern in the near future. Even the hard coded table for DST end until 2015 seems to be a subject of the political debate.

For Asia/Jerusalem (URL below) time zone -- DST begin date seems to be consistently on the 'First Friday' following March 26th every year. If March 26 falls on Friday then DST begins on that Friday. But I fail to see any pattern in DST end date. Currently, we have been defining new time zone rule every year for Asia/Jerusalem in our metadata but want to know if we can fit in some generic pattern to avoid maintenance.

Any suggestions ?
