Subject: [9fans] /adm/timezone/EET is bad
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:33:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1209a838da1003845b874b8a9ca0b4b7@isd.dp.ua> (raw)
Today I noticed my Plan 9 machine displayed time which is 1 hr past
surrounding world. Digging around, I found that DST start/end dates
for Eastern-European Time (/adm/timezone/EET) for current year are
bad. Those follow pre-1996 conventions for ending dates and does DST
switch 2 hours later. For more information, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Summer_Time.
Bundled program prints valid pair of dates for a given year in
1996-2099 range.
