The current (2010a) version of the "africa" file has "2008 only" and "2009 only" rules for Mauritius; this first appeared in "tzdata2009k.tar.gz" in July of last year. --ado From: Leonid A.

There are two rules for Mauritius in current version of timezone/africa: Rule Mauritius 2008 max - Oct lastSun 2:00s 1:00 S Rule Mauritius 2009 max - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 - It's wrong, because Mauritius used DST only in 2008/2009, prooflinks: http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/mauritius-daylight-saving-time.html http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/mauritius-dst-will-not-repeat.html So, rules should be: Rule Mauritius 2008 only - Oct lastSun 2:00s 1:00 S Rule Mauritius 2009 only - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 - or something like that. -- Best regards, Leonid A.
