In the last couple of weeks I got, with my FreeBSD tzdata maintainer hat on, a couple of emails from people in Samoa asking me how to update their system with regarding to the upcoming DST change on 26 September: From: "Atsuo Sakuma (BSI)" <atsuo.sakuma@bear-systems.ws> Subject: Re: Samoa Starts Day Light Saving To: Edwin Groothuis <edwin@mavetju.org> Now we start Day Light Saving on 26th Sep 2010. This supposed to start last year but we got Tsunami and postpone to the date above mentioned. Atsuo Sakuma Bear Systems International Ltd. fiafianet.ws Apia Samoa Hope this helps, Edwin

Thanks for forwarding the ".ws" note; it may be the best evidence so far. --ado -----Original Message----- From: Edwin Groothuis [mailto:edwin@mavetju.org] Sent: Monday, September 27, 2010 4:54 To: tz@lecserver.nci.nih.gov Subject: Re: Samoa Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) [E] <olsona <at> dc37a.nci.nih.gov> writes:

the start of DST here is Samoa was OK from what I've seen, but looking at my zdump I see the ending does not have the correct times. Sun Sep 26 10:59:59 2010 UTC = Sat Sep 25 23:59:59 2010 WST isdst=0 Sun Sep 26 11:00:00 2010 UTC = Sun Sep 26 01:00:00 2010 WSDT isdst=1 Sun Apr 3 09:59:59 2011 UTC = Sat Apr 2 23:59:59 2011 WSDT isdst=1 Sun Apr 3 10:00:00 2011 UTC = Sat Apr 2 23:00:00 2011 WST isdst=0 Please see www.mcil.gov.ws, the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Labour (sideframe) "Last Sunday September 2010 (26/09/10) - adjust clocks forward from 12:00 midnight to 01:00am and First Sunday April 2011 (03/04/11) - adjust clocks backwards from 1:00am to 12:00am" PS.
