I will fix this in FreeBSD; here is the problem for the benefit of other TZ users... ------- start of forwarded message (RFC 934) ------- Message-Id: <199409250603.GAA18199@apu.fi> Precedence: bulk From: Hannu Strang <chs@apu.fi> Sender: bugs-owner@freebsd.org To: bugs@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Timezone bug in 1.1R Date: Sun, 25 Sep 1994 06:03:37 GMT

Well, here in Helsinki we're just changing from summer time to regular one, and it's supposed to change at 4am... This 1.1R box just changed the time, and it's now only 3am. So the change is off by one hour... Not that it matters too much, just felt like reporting it.

Is the timezone code changed in 1.1.5.1 or 2.0?

lrwxrwxr-x 1 root 35 Jun 10 22:09 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Helsinki

There seems to be an error in /usr/src/share/zoneinfo/europe also in 2.0. Zone for Finland (Europe/Helsinki) ends up with line 2:00 M-Eur EET%s which should be 2:00 E-Eur EET%s instead. Zone EET (which I have been using) is correct. Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Greece, Moldova, Romania, Turkey, Ukraine (Europe/Kiev) look suspicious the same way but I don't know about them. ------- end -------
