Here are proposed changes to the time zone package: 1. Most importantly, changes to the "southamerica" file (combinining material from Jesper Norgaard Welen and Paul Eggert) to reflect Argentina's readoption of daylight saving time. 2. Jonathan Leffler's fixes to tzfile.5. 3. Changes to eliminate HAVE_STRERROR and the conditional strerror definition. (A safe change since it should have no run-time effects; we'll see if anybody complains about uncompilability). Barring problems these changes are to show up on the ftp site on Monday morning as usual, just in time to be late for the Argentina party. --ado ------- southamerica ------- *** /tmp/geta2179 Thu Dec 27 12:24:03 2007 --- /tmp/getb2179 Thu Dec 27 12:24:03 2007 *************** *** 1,4 **** ! # @(#)southamerica 8.13 # <pre> # This data is by no means authoritative; if you think you know better, --- 1,4 ---- ! # @(#)southamerica 8.14 # <pre> # This data is by no means authoritative; if you think you know better, *************** *** 106,111 **** --- 106,123 ---- # from the International Date Line.
