Proposed time zone packages appear below. These include: * changes to "Makefile" to allow withdrawal of logwtmp.c * data file URL fixes from Halasz Sandor Viktor * a fix for a typo in the "europe" file from Jesper Norgaard Welen (only affects 1945 time stamps) * changes for Mauritius in the "africa" file based on messages from Steffen Thorsen and Alex Krivenyshev * changes to the "leapseconds" file to reflect the IERS announcement of a positive leap second at the end of 2008 * changes (previously circulated) to the "tz-link.htm" file from Paul Eggert. If there's no negative feedback, I'll make tzcode2008e.tar.gz and tzdata2008e.tar.gz available on 2008-07-28. --ado diff -r -c old/Makefile new/Makefile *** old/Makefile Wed Mar 5 11:58:23 2008 --- new/Makefile Sun Jul 20 14:23:27 2008 *************** *** 1,4 **** ! # @(#)Makefile 8.6 # Change the line below for your time zone (after finding the zone you want in # the time zone files, or adding it to a time zone file). --- 1,4 ---- ! # @(#)Makefile 8.7 # Change the line below for your time zone (after finding the zone you want in # the time zone files, or adding it to a time zone file). *************** *** 246,258 **** TZCOBJS= zic.o localtime.o asctime.o scheck.o ialloc.o TZDSRCS= zdump.c localtime.c ialloc.c TZDOBJS= zdump.o localtime.o ialloc.o !
