I'm with Alan, I've read the messages a few times now, and I don't have the vaguest idea what was requested to be changed, Not sure, what is not to be understand with:
"Suggested new zone: Asia/Barnaul, split from Asia/Omsk"
or why. "Moves to Omsk Time" .. 1995-05-28 Altai Krai, Altai Oblast
If the zone is split from the Omsk zone, then on 1995-05-28 it was already on Omsk time. So how would the two zones differ?
FIX: oblast should be Republic.
If there's a new zone, then that fix can be made. Or the change can be made in the existing zone.
If not on the fly, it should be specified in the Theory file, so that contributors are warned that their fixes may not be added for 7+ months if they don't affect current time stamps.
I think you mean "... their fixes may not be added for 7+ months if nobody else can understand what they're asking to be changed".
- determining which zone someone should use to get the correct timestamp translations is not our problem I think you are misinformed again.
No, I think you are. -- Clive D.W. Feather | If you lie to the compiler, Email: clive@davros.org | it will get its revenge. Web: http://www.davros.org | - Henry Spencer Mobile: +44 7973 377646
