The 2018c release of the tz code and data is available. It follows on the 2018a and 2018b releases, which were published but were not announced until now, due to problems discovered late in their release processes. 2018a had a build-failure typo, and 2018a and 2018b both had problems with ICU and Java, downstream packages which do not support a feature (negative DST offsets) used in 2018a and 2018b. The typo has been fixed, and data changes using negative DST offsets have been reverted pending development of a mechanism to export data to platforms lacking support for such data.
Briefly:
São Tomé and Príncipe switched from +00 to +01.
Brazil's DST will now start on November's first Sunday.
Use Debian-style installation locations, instead of 4.3BSD-style.
New zic option -t.
Changes to past and future time stamps
São Tomé and Príncipe switched from +00 to +01 on 2018-01-01 at
01:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen and Michael Deckers.)
Changes to future time stamps
Starting in 2018 southern Brazil will begin DST on November's
first Sunday instead of October's third Sunday. (Thanks to
Steffen Thorsen.)
Changes to past time stamps
Japanese DST transitions (1948-1951) were Sundays at 00:00, not
Saturdays or Sundays at 02:00. (Thanks to Takayuki Nikai.)
A discrepancy of 4 s in timestamps before 1931 in South Sudan has
been corrected. The 'backzone' and 'zone.tab' files did not agree
with the 'africa' and 'zone1970.tab' files. (Problem reported by
Michael Deckers.)
The abbreviation invented for Bolivia Summer Time (1931-2) is now
BST instead of BOST, to be more consistent with the convention
used for Latvian Summer Time (1918-9) and for British Summer Time.
Changes to build procedure
The default installation locations have been changed to mostly
match Debian circa 2017, instead of being designed as an add-on to
4.3BSD circa 1986. This affects the Makefile macros TOPDIR,
TZDIR, MANDIR, and LIBDIR. New Makefile macros TZDEFAULT, USRDIR,
USRSHAREDIR, BINDIR, ZDUMPDIR, and ZICDIR let installers tailor
locations more precisely. (This responds to suggestions from
Brian Inglis and from Steve Summit.)
The default installation procedure no longer creates the
backward-compatibility link US/Pacific-New, which causes
confusion during user setup (e.g., see Debian bug 815200).
Use 'make BACKWARD="backward pacificnew"' to create the link
anyway, for now. Eventually we plan to remove the link entirely.
tzdata.zi now contains a version-number comment.
(Suggested by Tom Lane.)
The Makefile now quotes values like BACKWARD more carefully when
passing them to the shell. (Problem reported by Zefram.)
Builders no longer need to specify -DHAVE_SNPRINTF on platforms
that have snprintf and use pre-C99 compilers. (Problem reported
by Jon Skeet.)
The build procedure now works around mawk 1.3.3's lack of support
for character class expressions. (Problem reported by Ohyama.)

Briefly:
Northern Cyprus switches from +03 to +02/+03 on 2017-10-29.
Fiji ends DST 2018-01-14, not 2018-01-21.
Namibia switches from +01/+02 to +02 on 2018-04-01.
Sudan switches from +03 to +02 on 2017-11-01.
Tonga likely switches from +13/+14 to +13 on 2017-11-05.
Turks & Caicos switches from -04 to -05/-04 on 2018-11-04.
A new file tzdata.zi now holds a small text copy of all data.
The zic input format has been regularized slightly.
Changes to future time stamps
Northern Cyprus has decided to resume EU rules starting
2017-10-29, thus reinstituting winter time.
Fiji ends DST 2018-01-14 instead of the 2018-01-21 previously
predicted. (Thanks to Dominic Fok.) Adjust future predictions
accordingly.
Namibia will switch from +01 with DST to +02 all year on
2017-09-03 at 02:00. This affects UT offsets starting 2018-04-01
at 02:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
Sudan will switch from +03 to +02 on 2017-11-01. (Thanks to Ahmed
Atyya and Yahia Abdalla.) South Sudan is not switching, so
Africa/Juba is no longer a link to Africa/Khartoum.
Tonga has likely ended its experiment with DST, and will not
adjust its clocks on 2017-11-05. Although Tonga has not announced
whether it will continue to observe DST, the IATA is assuming that
it will not. (Thanks to David Wade.)
Turks & Caicos will switch from -04 all year to -05 with US DST on
2018-03-11 at 03:00. This affects UT offsets starting 2018-11-04
at 02:00. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
Changes to past time stamps
Namibia switched from +02 to +01 on 1994-03-21, not 1994-04-03.
(Thanks to Arthur David Olson.)
Detroit did not observe DST in 1967.
Use railway time for Asia/Kolkata before 1941, by switching to
Madras local time (UT +052110) in 1870, then to IST (UT +0530) in
1906. Also, treat 1941-2's +0630 as DST, like 1942-5.
Europe/Dublin's 1946 and 1947 fallback transitions occurred at
02:00 standard time, not 02:00 DST. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
Pacific/Apia and Pacific/Pago_Pago switched from Antipodean to
American time in 1892, not 1879. (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
Adjust the 1867 transition in Alaska to better reflect the
historical record, by changing it to occur on 1867-10-18 at 15:30
Sitka time rather than at the start of 1867-10-17 local time.
Although strictly speaking this is accurate only for Sitka,
the rest of Alaska's blanks need to be filled in somehow.
Fix off-by-one errors in UT offsets for Adak and Nome before 1867.
(Thanks to Michael Deckers.)
Add 7 s to the UT offset in Asia/Yangon before 1920.
Changes to zone names
Remove Canada/East-Saskatchewan from the 'backward' file, as it
exceeded the 14-character limit and was an unused misnomer anyway.

Briefly: Southern Chile moves from -04/-03 to -03, and Mongolia
discontinues DST.
Changes to future time stamps
Mongolia no longer observes DST. (Thanks to Ganbold Tsagaankhuu.)
Chile's Region of Magallanes moves from -04/-03 to -03 year-round.
Its clocks diverge from America/Santiago starting 2017-05-13 at
23:00, hiving off a new zone America/Punta_Arenas. Although the
Chilean government says this change expires in May 2019, for now
assume it's permanent. (Thanks to Juan Correa and Deborah
Goldsmith.) This also affects Antarctica/Palmer.
Changes to past time stamps
Fix many entries for historical time stamps for Europe/Madrid
before 1979, to agree with tables compiled by Pere Planesas of the
National Astronomical Observatory of Spain. As a side effect,
this changes some time stamps for Africa/Ceuta before 1929, which
are probably guesswork anyway. (Thanks to Steve Allen and
Pierpaolo Bernardi for the heads-ups, and to Michael Deckers for
correcting the 1901 transition.)
Ecuador observed DST from 1992-11-28 to 1993-02-05.
(Thanks to Alois Treindl.)
Asia/Atyrau and Asia/Oral were at +03 (not +04) before 1930-06-21.
(Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)
Changes to past and future time zone abbreviations
Switch to numeric time zone abbreviations for South America, as
part of the ongoing project of removing invented abbreviations.
This avoids the need to invent an abbreviation for the new Chilean
new zone. Similarly, switch from invented to numeric time zone
abbreviations for Afghanistan, American Samoa, the Azores,
Bangladesh, Bhutan, the British Indian Ocean Territory, Brunei,
Cape Verde, Chatham Is, Christmas I, Cocos (Keeling) Is, Cook Is,
Dubai, East Timor, Eucla, Fiji, French Polynesia, Greenland,
Indochina, Iran, Iraq, Kiribati, Lord Howe, Macquarie, Malaysia,
the Maldives, Marshall Is, Mauritius, Micronesia, Mongolia,
Myanmar, Nauru, Nepal, New Caledonia, Niue, Norfolk I, Palau,
Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Pitcairn, Qatar, Réunion, St
Pierre & Miquelon, Samoa, Saudi Arabia, Seychelles, Singapore,
Solomon Is, Tokelau, Tuvalu, Wake, Vanuatu, Wallis & Futuna, and
Xinjiang; for 20-minute daylight saving time in Ghana before 1943;
for half-hour daylight saving time in Belize before 1944 and in
the Dominican Republic before 1975; and for Canary Islands before
1946, for Guinea-Bissau before 1975, for Iceland before 1969, for
Indian Summer Time before 1942, for Indonesia before around 1964,
for Kenya before 1960, for Liberia before 1973, for Madeira before
1967, for Namibia before 1943, for the Netherlands in 1937-9, for
Pakistan before 1971, for Western Sahara before 1977, and for
Zaporozhye in 1880-1924.
For Alaska time from 1900 through 1967, instead of "CAT" use the
abbreviation "AST", the abbreviation commonly used at the time
(Atlantic Standard Time had not been standardized yet). Use "AWT"
and "APT" instead of the invented abbreviations "CAWT" and "CAPT".
Use "CST" and "CDT" instead of invented abbreviations for Macau
before 1999 and Taiwan before 1938, and use "JST" instead of the
invented abbreviation "JCST" for Japan and Korea before 1938.

Briefly: Saratov, Russia moves from +03 to +04 on 2016-12-04.
Changes to future time stamps
Saratov, Russia switches from +03 to +04 on 2016-12-04 at 02:00.
This hives off a new zone Europe/Saratov from Europe/Volgograd.
(Thanks to Yuri Konotopov and Stepan Golosunov.)
Changes to past time stamps
The new zone Asia/Atyrau for Atyraū Region, Kazakhstan, is like
Asia/Aqtau except it switched from +05/+06 to +04/+05 in spring
1999, not fall 1994. (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)
Changes to past time zone abbreviations
Asia/Gaza and Asia/Hebron now use "EEST", not "EET", to denote
summer time before 1948. The old use of "EET" was a typo.

Briefly: Cyprus split into two time zones on 2016-10-30, and Tonga
reintroduces DST on 2016-11-06.
Changes to future time stamps
Pacific/Tongatapu begins DST on 2016-11-06 at 02:00, ending on
2017-01-15 at 03:00. Assume future observances in Tonga will be
from the first Sunday in November through the third Sunday in
January, like Fiji. (Thanks to Pulu ʻAnau.) Switch to numeric
time zone abbreviations for this zone.
Changes to past and future time stamps
Northern Cyprus is now +03 year round, causing a split in Cyprus
time zones starting 2016-10-30 at 04:00. This creates a zone
Asia/Famagusta. (Thanks to Even Scharning and Matt Johnson.)
Antarctica/Casey switched from +08 to +11 on 2016-10-22.
(Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
Changes to past time stamps
Several corrections were made for pre-1975 time stamps in Italy.
These affect Europe/Malta, Europe/Rome, Europe/San_Marino, and
Europe/Vatican.
First, the 1893-11-01 00:00 transition in Italy used the new UT
offset (+01), not the old (+00:49:56). (Thanks to Michael
Deckers.)
Second, rules for daylight saving in Italy were changed to agree
with Italy's National Institute of Metrological Research (INRiM)
except for 1944, as follows (thanks to Pierpaolo Bernardi, Brian
Inglis, and Michael Deckers):
The 1916-06-03 transition was at 24:00, not 00:00.
The 1916-10-01, 1919-10-05, and 1920-09-19 transitions were at
00:00, not 01:00.
The 1917-09-30 and 1918-10-06 transitions were at 24:00, not
01:00.
The 1944-09-17 transition was at 03:00, not 01:00. This
particular change is taken from Italian law as INRiM's table,
(which says 02:00) appears to have a typo here. Also, keep the
1944-04-03 transition for Europe/Rome, as Rome was controlled by
Germany then.
The 1967-1970 and 1972-1974 fallback transitions were at 01:00,
not 00:00.

Changes to future time stamps
Asia/Gaza and Asia/Hebron end DST on 2016-10-29 at 01:00, not
2016-10-21 at 00:00. (Thanks to Sharef Mustafa.) Predict that
future fall transitions will be on the last Saturday of October
at 01:00, which is consistent with predicted spring transitions
on the last Saturday of March. (Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
Changes to past time stamps
In Turkey, transitions in 1986-1990 were at 01:00 standard time
not at 02:00, and the spring 1994 transition was on March 20, not
March 27. (Thanks to Kıvanç Yazan.)
Changes to past and future time zone abbreviations
Asia/Colombo now uses numeric time zone abbreviations like "+0530"
instead of alphabetic ones like "IST" and "LKT". Various
English-language sources use "IST", "LKT" and "SLST", with no
working consensus. (Usage of "SLST" mentioned by Sadika
Sumanapala.)

New leap second 2016-12-31 23:59:60 UTC as per IERS Bulletin C 52.
(Thanks to Tim Parenti.)
Changes to past time stamps
For America/Los_Angeles, spring-forward transition times have been
corrected from 02:00 to 02:01 in 1948, and from 02:00 to 01:00 in
1950-1966.
For zones using Soviet time on 1919-07-01, transitions to UT-based
time were at 00:00 UT, not at 02:00 local time. The affected
zones are Europe/Kirov, Europe/Moscow, Europe/Samara, and
Europe/Ulyanovsk. (Thanks to Alexander Belopolsky.)
Changes to past and future time zone abbreviations
The Factory zone now uses the time zone abbreviation -00 instead
of a long English-language string, as -00 is now the normal way to
represent an undefined time zone.
Several zones in Antarctica and the former Soviet Union, along
with zones intended for ships at sea that cannot use POSIX TZ
strings, now use numeric time zone abbreviations instead of
invented or obsolete alphanumeric abbreviations. The affected
zones are Antarctica/Casey, Antarctica/Davis,
Antarctica/DumontDUrville, Antarctica/Mawson, Antarctica/Rothera,
Antarctica/Syowa, Antarctica/Troll, Antarctica/Vostok,
Asia/Anadyr, Asia/Ashgabat, Asia/Baku, Asia/Bishkek, Asia/Chita,

Locations while uninhabited now use '-00', not 'zzz', as a

The 2016c release of the tz code and data is available. Its most urgent change is for Asia/Baku, where the update takes effect this weekend.
This release reflects the following changes, which were either circulated on the tz mailing list or are relatively minor technical or administrative changes:
Changes affecting future time stamps
Azerbaijan no longer observes DST. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
Chile reverts from permanent to seasonal DST. (Thanks to Juan
Correa for the heads-up, and to Tim Parenti for corrections.)
Guess that future transitions are August's and May's second
Saturdays at 24:00 mainland time. Also, call the period from
2014-09-07 through 2016-05-14 daylight saving time instead of
standard time, as that seems more appropriate now.
Changes affecting past time stamps
Europe/Kaliningrad and Europe/Vilnius changed from +03/+04 to
+02/+03 on 1989-03-26, not 1991-03-31. Europe/Volgograd changed
from +04/+05 to +03/+04 on 1988-03-27, not 1989-03-26.

Ulyanovsk Oblasts, Russia, both of which will switch from +03 to +04 on
2016-03-27 at 02:00 local time. They need distinct zones since their
post-1970 histories disagree. New zone Asia/Barnaul for Altai Krai and
Altai Republic, Russia, which will switch from +06 to +07 on the same date

at 02:00. (Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev for the heads-up, and to
Matt Johnson and Stepan Golosunov for followup.)
As a trial of a new system that needs less information to be made up,
the new zones use numeric time zone abbreviations like "+04"
instead of invented abbreviations like "ASTT".
Haiti will not observe DST in 2016. (Thanks to Jean Antoine via
Steffen Thorsen.)
Palestine's spring-forward transition on 2016-03-26 is at 01:00, not 00:00.

Add INSTALL_TIMEZONE_FILE config variable to enable/disable installation
of ${sysconfdir}/timezone (/etc/timezone) by tzdata packages. Defaults
to "1" to maintain previous behavior.
Most libc implementations can be configured to retrieve system's
defaults timezone from /etc/localtime, and don't need a second file
(/etc/timezone) to express this configuration. Maintaining this file is
an unnecessary burden on sysadmins unless there's software using
/etc/timezone directly (I.e. outside of libc). Some distributions may
choose not to provide it.
Testing: Built tzdata under default config and verified CONFFILES_tzdata
still has both /etc/timezone and /etc/localtime and both are in the
image. Built with INSTALL_TIMEZONE_FILE = "0" and verified /etc/timezone
is removed from CONFFILES_tzdata and the image. Successfully installed
package to an x64 target.

OE-Core commit 57af3fb9662106f0a65a1b4edf83e2398be0a8f1 upgraded tzdata
but also reverted a couple of changes to SUMMARY and LIC_FILES_CHKSUM.
Reinstate these (with an update to the README md5 value since that has
changed slightly, without any change to the licensing statements
within).

Changes affecting future time stamps
Egypt's spring-forward transition is at 24:00 on April's last Thursday,
not 00:00 on April's last Friday. 2015's transition will therefore be on
Thursday, April 30 at 24:00, not Friday, April 24 at 00:00. Similar fixes
apply to 2026, 2037, 2043, etc. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
Changes affecting past time stamps
The following changes affect some pre-1991 Chile-related time stamps
in America/Santiago, Antarctica/Palmer, and Pacific/Easter.
The 1910 transition was January 10, not January 1.
The 1918 transition was September 10, not September 1.
The UTC-4 time observed from 1932 to 1942 is now considered to be
standard time, not year-round DST.
Santiago observed DST (UTC-3) from 1946-07-15 through 1946-08-31,
then reverted to standard time, then switched its time zone to
UTC-5 on 1947-04-01.
Assume transitions before 1968 were at 00:00, since we have no data
saying otherwise.
The spring 1988 transition was 1988-10-09, not 1988-10-02.
The fall 1990 transition was 1990-03-11, not 1990-03-18.
Assume no UTC offset change for Pacific/Easter on 1890-01-01,
and omit all transitions on Pacific/Easter from 1942 through 1946
since we have no data suggesting that they existed.
One more zone has been turned into a link, as it differed
from an existing zone only for older time stamps. As usual,
this change affects UTC offsets in pre-1970 time stamps only.
The zone's old contents have been moved to the 'backzone' file.
The affected zone is America/Montreal.

two choices, since north and south Vietnam disagreed after our

A lot of our recipes had short one-line DESCRIPTION values and no
SUMMARY value set. In this case it's much better to just set SUMMARY
since DESCRIPTION is defaulted from SUMMARY anyway and then the SUMMARY
is at least useful. I also took the opportunity to fix up a lot of the
new SUMMARY values, making them concisely explain the function of the
recipe / package where possible.

We shouldn't have an use-case where we'd use 'FUBAR' timezone so
instead of adding postinst handling for this use case we handle it at
install time and keep the Universal as fallback if user did something
wrong.
This also ensure the /etc/localtime file is kept as a symbolic link.
This will make timezone not available when /usr is in separated
partition (and not mounted) however the applications ought to fallback
to GMT timezone in this case and when /usr is made availble timezone
will work fine.

The code where mistakenly replacing the localtime file setting so we
end with a copy of file instead of a symbolic link. This fixes it so
now, we'll only do that in case the link is pointing to invalid data.

Lots of code (such a GLib) expects this to exist and link to the current
timezone definition.
/etc/localtime is a symlink instead of a copy of hard link to make it obvious
what timezone data it's pointing at. For systems with /etc on a separate
filesystem to /usr this will result in a dangling symlink until /usr is mounted,
but as this is early boot the assumption is that anything checking it will
handle that case and fallback to UTC.
