Dear all, I've downloaded the current time zone data from this link: https://data.iana.org/time-zones/releases/tzdata2018i.tar.gz , and compiled the time zone files with zic. For Europe/Budapest, I got this tz string: CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3 I think IMHO it should be: CET-1CEST,M3.5.0/2,M10.5.0/3 Best regards, Levente -- Levente Kovacs Senior Electronic Engineer W: http://levente.logonex.eu

They're equivalent POSIX TZ strings, and the one zic uses is shorter. See: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap08.html#tag_...
Paul, the time of change for the second (fall back) change was proposed as /3 but the standard you referenced says the default time is /2, so they aren’t exactly equivalent AFAICS. Whether/3 is correct is outside my knowledge. On Fri, Feb 1, 2019 at 13:08 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> wrote:

The /3 is in both strings, as presented. -- Tim Parenti On Fri, 1 Feb 2019 at 16:13, Jonathan Leffler <jonathan.leffler@gmail.com> wrote:
