Greetings,
I am not sure if this is technically an error from your perspective or not; but the latest 2024b DB does not load using the Azul ZUUpdater Tool.
It fails with the following message:
Failed: java.lang.Exception: Failed while parsing file '/tmp/ziupdater1990610874409301294343524276772419/srcdir/northamerica' on line 2633 'Rule Mexico 1931 only - April 30 0:00 1:00 D'
From looking at the source files this is the only occurrence of a full month string I could find; the rest are 3 letter abbreviations, e.g. Apr.
Thanks, we're aware of that issue and it'll be fixed in the next TZDB release. In the meantime you can just stick with 2024a, or manually change "April" to "Apr". Also, could you please report it as a bug to the Azul folks? Month and day names can be spelled out in full or abbreviated in any unambiguous way, this has been documented for ages, and previous TZDB data used full names on occasion. Thanks.
