Priyada Iman Nurcahyo is not on the time zone mailing list; direct replies appropriately. (I've already written to Priyada Iman Nurcahyo about how time zone abbreviations are derived from English-language time zone names; the matter of potential importance here is the city name change.) --ado -----Original Message----- From: Priyadi Iman Nurcahyo [mailto:priyadi@priyadi.net] Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 3:56 PM To: tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov Subject: indonesia time zone correction Hello, I have your email address from timezone/asia file inside the GNU C library distribution. I need to correct the specification for our time zone. I hope this is the correct address to send this information. Basically, the only things that needs changing are the names of timezone, at least that what I know of. I don't know where you got abbreviations like JAVT, JST, or CST, so I left them intact. The following are a patch to asia file that changes: - WIT to WIB, waktu indonesia barat (english: west indonesian time) - CIT to WITA, waktu indonesia tengah (central indonesian time) - EIT to WIT, waktu indonesia timur (east indonesian time) - City of Ujungpandang has been renamed to Makassar, so I create an entry for Makassar, but left Ujungpandang to facilitate upgrades Thank you for your time... ps. is it okay to create more major cities to be included in this file? --- asia.orig Tue Mar 12 03:25:51 2002 +++ asia Tue Mar 12 03:47:17 2002 @@ -392,30 +392,35 @@ # but this must be a typo. 7:07:12 - JMT 1923 Dec 31 23:47:12 # Jakarta 7:20 - JAVT 1932 Nov # Java Time - 7:30 - WIT 1942 Mar 23 + 7:30 - WIB 1942 Mar 23 9:00 - JST 1945 Aug - 7:30 - WIT 1948 May - 8:00 - WIT 1950 May - 7:30 - WIT 1964 - 7:00 - WIT + 7:30 - WIB 1948 May + 8:00 - WIB 1950 May + 7:30 - WIB 1964 + 7:00 - WIB Zone Asia/Pontianak 7:17:20 - LMT 1908 May 7:17:20 - PMT 1932 Nov # Pontianak MT - 7:30 - WIT 1942 Jan 29 + 7:30 - WIB 1942 Jan 29 9:00 - JST 1945 Aug - 7:30 - WIT 1948 May - 8:00 - WIT 1950 May - 7:30 - WIT 1964 - 8:00 - CIT 1988 Jan 1 - 7:00 - WIT + 7:30 - WIB 1948 May + 8:00 - WIB 1950 May + 7:30 - WIB 1964 + 8:00 - WITA 1988 Jan 1 + 7:00 - WIB Zone Asia/Ujung_Pandang 7:57:36 - LMT 1920 7:57:36 - MMT 1932 Nov # Macassar MT - 8:00 - CIT 1942 Feb 9 + 8:00 - WITA 1942 Feb 9 9:00 - JST 1945 Aug - 8:00 - CIT + 8:00 - WITA +Zone Asia/Makassar 7:57:36 - LMT 1920 + 7:57:36 - MMT 1932 Nov # Macassar MT + 8:00 - WITA 1942 Feb 9 + 9:00 - JST 1945 Aug + 8:00 - WITA Zone Asia/Jayapura 9:22:48 - LMT 1932 Nov - 9:00 - EIT 1944 + 9:00 - WIT 1944 9:30 - CST 1964 - 9:00 - EIT + 9:00 - WIT # Iran # From Paul Eggert (2000-06-12), following up a suggestion by Rich Wales:
