This continues in the series of moving entries to 'backward' if they exist only because of obsolete tz rules about country codes. This change does not affect any time stamps after 1970. Unlike the previous change in this series, this one does affect time stamps before 1970, but that's OK as pre-1970 time stamps are out of scope for the tz database. * antarctica (Antarctica/McMurdo, Antarctica/South_Pole): Move to 'backward' and link to Pacific/Auckland. * backward: Move links here from 'antarctica'. * zone.tab: Coalesce McMurdo and South Pole, and add Scott Base to the description. --- antarctica | 18 ++++++------------ backward | 2 ++ zone.tab | 3 +-- 3 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/antarctica b/antarctica index 9bf2494..4cb7476 100644 --- a/antarctica +++ b/antarctica @@ -228,7 +228,8 @@ Zone Antarctica/Syowa 0 - zzz 1957 Jan 29 # Scott Island (never inhabited) # # year-round base -# Scott, Ross Island, since 1957-01, is like Antarctica/McMurdo. +# Scott Base, Ross Island, since 1957-01. +# See Pacific/Auckland. # # These rules for New Zealand are stolen from the `australasia' file. # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S @@ -337,16 +338,11 @@ Zone Antarctica/Palmer 0 - zzz 1965 -4:00 ChileAQ CL%sT # # -# McMurdo, Ross Island, since 1955-12 -# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] -Zone Antarctica/McMurdo 0 - zzz 1956 - 12:00 NZAQ NZ%sT -# -# Amundsen-Scott, South Pole, continuously occupied since 1956-11-20 +# McMurdo Station, Ross Island, since 1955-12 +# See Pacific/Auckland. # -# From Paul Eggert (1996-09-03): -# Normally it wouldn't have a separate entry, since it's like the -# larger Antarctica/McMurdo since 1970, but it's too famous to omit. +# Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, continuously occupied since 1956-11-20 +# See Pacific/Auckland. # # From Chris Carrier (1996-06-27): # Siple, the first commander of the South Pole station, @@ -367,5 +363,3 @@ Zone Antarctica/McMurdo 0 - zzz 1956 # makes all of the clocks run fast.
