proposed tz change for Latvia, Lithuania
It's March Madness time for daylight-saving rule changes. Here's a proposed change to the tz database to keep up with the latest political development, which affects time stamps starting March 29: * Latvia and Lithuania will not observe DST, starting this year.

Hey, Paul, I'm not 100% sure about Lithuania, so it would be better not to update Europe/Vilnius zone until someone more knowledgeable would confirm the fact. I wrote about Latvia only. -- andrei On Wed, 8 Mar 2000, Paul Eggert wrote:

Hello! Unfortunately I can't read Latvian, but I guess you're asking about sources of information for timekeeping in Latvia. All that we know is in the 'europe' file in the tzdata distribution. I suggest looking there, near the Europe/Riga entry. You can find a copy of the latest experimental version here: https://github.com/eggert/tz/blob/master/europe If you have better data please let us know. Thanks.

Where can you find a more complete DST / LMT time change for Latvia? Sincerely I. Zagorskis It also identified the source language automatically. Paul's answer is basically on target for that.

What I was trying to say, perhaps too elliptically, was that the readers of this mailing list aren't expected to read non-English text, and that as a courtesy it's better for senders to translate their messages to English before sending them here, rather than to expect each reader try to puzzle out what to do with the message. Also, as a practical matter, the email filters applied to this list give lower priorities to non-English messages. The message from Ivars Zagorskis almost didn't get through, and if I hadn't been less hurried than usual it would have been discarded unread. The next time this situation arises, I think I'll ask the sender to retransmit in English rather than burden our readers with flurries of messages like this thread.
