Dear sirs, I work with the zoneinfo format, supported by Linux and FreeBSD for two years, and I was sorrowed when I did not find Krasnoyarsk timezone in the latest release FreeBSD, where are mach more timezones. Are you support the zoneinfo package? Can you add the record below into the timezone database? # Krasnoyarsk # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/ Rule Krasnoyarsk 1970 max - Mar lastSun 2:00 1:00 D Rule Krasnoyarsk 1970 max - Sep lastSun 2:00 0 K # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES/SAVE FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Krasnoyarsk 7:00 Krasnoyarsk KRS%s I understand that Krasnoyarsk timezone is equal to registered Tomsk timezone now. Do the registration of Tomsk timezone hinder to registrate Krasnoyarsk timezone? Sincerely yours Andrey Glukhov

Do the registration of Tomsk timezone hinder to registrate Krasnoyarsk timezone? Thanks for your letter. As far as we know, the clocks in Krasnoyarsk and Tomsk have agreed since 1970. Usually the tz database contains just one entry for each country's region if that region's clocks have all been the same since 1970. The region is usually identified by the location with the most people, as described by the rules near the start of the `africa' file. In Russia's GMT+7 time zone, my vague impression was that Tomsk has the most people, but I'm afraid I don't have any population figures. Is some other city a better choice for the GMT+7 region? If so, we should change the tz entry's name. Is there a good source of population statistics for Russia on the Web? The best I found was <url:http://www.intr.net/cpss/demo.html>, but it contains population by oblast, not by city.
