Re: [tz] tzdata2016g missing version information
Hi, I am tried to update the time zone database on my PC using the Oracle TimeZone Updater but was unable to because of an error given about the VERSION. Below is the output from the command: 1. Using the timezone database from www.iana.org: C:\tzupdater>java -jar .\tzupdater.jar -v -l http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzdata-latest.tar.gz Using http://www.iana.org/time-zones/repository/tzdata-latest.tar.gz as source for tzdata bundle. java.home: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_101 java.vendor: Oracle Corporation java.version: 1.8.0_101 tzupdater version 2.1.0-b04 JRE tzdata version: tzdata2016d Downloaded file to C:\Users\abc\AppData\Local\Temp\tz.tmp\tzdata.tar.gz Source directory does not contain file: VERSION 2. Using the local timezone database: C:\tzupdater>java -jar .\tzupdater.jar -v -l file:///c:/tzupdater/tzdata2016g.tar.gz Using file:///c:/tzupdater/tzdata2016g.tar.gz as source for tzdata bundle. java.home: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_101 java.vendor: Oracle Corporation java.version: 1.8.0_101 tzupdater version 2.1.0-b04 JRE tzdata version: tzdata2016d Downloaded file to C:\Users\abc\AppData\Local\Temp\tz.tmp\tzdata.tar.gz Source directory does not contain file: VERSION I browsed to the folder C:\Users\abc\AppData\Local\Temp\tz.tmp\ and see that there is file called VERSION and its' content is: tzdataunknown What do I need to do to get this working?

Yes, it appears that the Oracle software assumed that the Makefile would have a VERSION line that specifies the version number. That assumption was never documented or guaranteed and is no longer valid. Perhaps you can work around the problem by modifying the Makefile to say "VERSION = 2016g" (I don't have the Oracle software and so can't easily test this). We are discussing a better way to address this problem in the future.
