The proposed changes below incorporate the suggested change in translation of comments regarding Chilean DST, a reference to the English-language page regarding DST in Morocco, and a change so that DST in Morocco ends at midnight rather than 1:00. These changes are against the current ftp versions. I'll try to update the ftp versions on Friday. And...messages don't seem to be appearing on... http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.time.tz ...but do seem to be appearing elsewhere. --ado diff -c old/africa new/africa *** old/africa Thu Dec 16 12:24:19 2010 --- new/africa Wed Mar 30 15:29:23 2011 *************** *** 1,5 **** # <pre> ! # @(#)africa 8.28 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. --- 1,5 ---- # <pre> ! # @(#)africa 8.30 # This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of # 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson. *************** *** 712,717 **** --- 712,759 ---- # http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/morocco-starts-dst-2010.html # </a> + # From Dan Abitol (2011-03-30): + # ...Rules for Africa/Casablanca are the following (24h format) + # The 3rd april 2011 at 00:00:00, [it] will be 3rd april 1:00:00 + # The 31th july 2011 at 00:59:59, [it] will be 31th July 00:00:00 + # ...Official links of change in morocco + # The change was broadcast on the FM Radio + # I ve called ANRT (telecom regulations in Morocco) at + # +212.537.71.84.00 + # <a href="http://www.anrt.net.ma/fr/"> + # http://www.anrt.net.ma/fr/ + # </a> + # They said that + # <a href="http://www.map.ma/fr/sections/accueil/l_heure_legale_au_ma/view"> + # http://www.map.ma/fr/sections/accueil/l_heure_legale_au_ma/view + # </a> + # is the official publication to look at. + # They said that the decision was already taken. + # + # More articles in the press + # <a href="http://www.yabiladi.com/articles/details/5058/secret-l-heure-d-ete-maroc-lev"> + # http://www.yabiladi.com/articles/details/5058/secret-l-heure-d-ete-maroc-lev + # </a> + # e.html + # <a href="http://www.lematin.ma/Actualite/Express/Article.asp?id=148923"> + # http://www.lematin.ma/Actualite/Express/Article.asp?id=148923 + # </a> + # <a href="http://www.lavieeco.com/actualite/Le-Maroc-passe-sur-GMT%2B1-a-partir-de-dim"> + # http://www.lavieeco.com/actualite/Le-Maroc-passe-sur-GMT%2B1-a-partir-de-dim + # anche-prochain-5538.html + # </a> + + # From Petr Machata (2011-03-30): + # They have it written in English here: + # <a href="http://www.map.ma/eng/sections/home/morocco_to_spring_fo/view"> + # http://www.map.ma/eng/sections/home/morocco_to_spring_fo/view + # </a> + # + # It says there that "Morocco will resume its standard time on July 31, + # 2011 at midnight."
