Regarding Turkey DST change
Hi, Could you please tell me whether Turkey DST changes are fixed in tzdata or not? If fixed could you please let me know which tzdata*.tar.gz contains the changes? I have downloaded the latest one available on https://www.iana.org/time-zones. However still UTCOffString value showing as +2.00 instead of +3.00 for November dates.

The change for Turkey was made in https://github.com/eggert/tz/commit/3e31dbe52b8730ed762880e88bf4c68ac00b8cc3, and has been reflected in versions since 2016g, which was released on 13 September 2016. -- Tim Parenti On 15 November 2016 at 06:43, Peddi, Radhika (Radhika) <rpeddi@avaya.com> wrote:

Those changes are in the current release, and have been so since release 2016g dated 2016-09-13. This info is in the NEWS file that is part of each release.
Hi, Thanks for the response. However when I have taken latest tar and used for Europe/Istanbul timezone the UTC offstring is +3 for September month and October month. From October 31st onwards it is again considering UTCOffString as +2. I would like to know, as part of this https://github.com/eggert/tz/commit/3e31dbe52b8730ed762880e88bf4c68ac00b8cc3 the change is done for Europe/Istanbul time zone. We have one time zone named with Turkey. So what about the changes for this timezone? Appreciate your help in advance. Thanks & Regards, Radhika Peddi|Avaya India Pvt.

Are you setting TZ='Turkey'? If so, you need to run 'zic backward' too, as the 'backward' file creates the link from the updated 'Europe/Istanbul' file to the backwards-compatibility name 'Turkey'. You might also consider setting TZ='Europe/Istanbul' to avoid future problems like this.

From October 31st onwards it is again considering UTCOffString as +2 instead of UTCOffString as +3 for the year 2016. Can you tell me why? Thanks & Regards, Radhika Peddi|Avaya India Pvt.

I'm afraid not, at least not with the information presented. For what it's worth, it is working for me correctly: $ TZ=Europe/Istanbul date; date -u Tue Nov 22 09:12:55 +03 2016 Tue Nov 22 06:12:55 UTC 2016 This is with Ubuntu 16.04.1; I merely did the ordinary software updates for this platform. Ubuntu had the relevant changes available in its tzdata package version 2016g-0ubuntu0.16.04 dated 29 Sep 2016 10:03:50 -0600.

Have you also customized the directories in the Makefile, built the utilities (e.g. zic), compiled the data with the utilities, and installed the updates where your system expects to find them (normally /usr/share/zoneinfo/), without any errors? Each of these are common reasons why systems don't see updated tz data. Have you checked if your system distros' binary package for tzdata is release 2016g or higher, and installed the update? -- Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
