Below are propsed changes to the "africa" file (for the end of DST in Egypt in 2009) and the "australasia" file (adding a comment about the possibility of Samoa observing DST in 2009/2010). If no problems are found, expect these to show up on the ftp server this coming Monday. --ado ------- africa ------- *** /tmp/geta13168 Fri Aug 14 09:02:44 2009 --- /tmp/getb13168 Fri Aug 14 09:02:44 2009 *************** *** 1,5 **** # <pre> ! # @(#)africa 8.22 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. --- 1,5 ---- # <pre> ! # @(#)africa 8.23 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. *************** *** 276,283 **** # In 2009 (and for the next several years), Ramadan ends before the fourth # Thursday in September; Egypt is expected to revert to the last Thursday # in September.
