Error with America/Santiago?
I originally mailed tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov, the address listed at the top of http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm but the address bounced. Is this the correct email address? Hello, I believe there might be an error with the definition for 'America/Santiago'. Actual Behavior As of March 12, 2013 at 10:30pm UTC the tz database reports 'America/Santiago' to be CLT-0400. Expected Behavior
From looking at Wikipedia, WorldTime.com, and TimeAndDate.com, all three agree that 'America/Santiago' should be at CLST-0300 for March 12, 2013 at 10:30pm UTC.
I'm basing this report on the version of the tz database included in the Python library pytz-2012j which was released on 2013-01-03. I have not yet checked the source tz database files. I'm hoping someone on this list can help. Thanks, Jonathan
Hello, Changes for the end of DST in Chile were included in the 2013a version of tz db. It was released a week ago. Regards, JMG. El 12-03-2013 20:03, Jonathan Berger escribió:

Thank you for the information about Chile! Do you know if anyone has been in touch with Paul Eggert who might be able to change the outdated information on http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm? It seems a number of pages around the web still link to that older page as the authoritative source about the tz database (instead of http://www.iana.org/time-zones ) and it will likely confuse future web searchers like me.

It would be nice if it could be hosted "officially" at iana.org. -- -=( Ian Abbott @ MEV Ltd. E-mail: <abbotti@mev.co.uk> )=- -=( Tel: +44 (0)161 477 1898 FAX: +44 (0)161 718 3587 )=-

I believe it is. See http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tz-link.html which is linked from the main page at http://www.iana.org/time-zones kim

Unfortunately I am no longer a Twin Sun employee and I lack the rights to change that old page. I'll ask them to replace it with a pointer to the new page, or to remove it, but I'm afraid this may be low priority.
