tzdata: update to 2016f

2016-07-12T22:10:03+00:00

 Changes affecting future time stamps

    The Egyptian government changed its mind on short notice, and
    Africa/Cairo will not introduce DST starting 2016-07-07 after all.
    (Thanks to Mina Samuel.)

    Asia/Novosibirsk switches from +06 to +07 on 2016-07-24 at 02:00.
    (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)

  Changes to past and future time stamps

    Asia/Novokuznetsk and Asia/Novosibirsk now use numeric time zone
    abbreviations instead of invented ones.

  Changes affecting past time stamps

    Europe/Minsk's 1992-03-29 spring-forward transition was at 02:00 not 00:00.

tzdata: update to 2016e

2016-06-23T13:23:29+00:00

Changes affecting future time stamps

Africa/Cairo observes DST in 2016 from July 7 to the end of October.
Guess October 27 and 24:00 transitions. (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)
For future years, guess April's last Thursday to October's last
Thursday except for Ramadan.

Changes affecting past time stamps

Locations while uninhabited now use '-00', not 'zzz', as a
placeholder time zone abbreviation.  This is inspired by Internet
RFC 3339 and is more consistent with numeric time zone
abbreviations already used elsewhere.  The change affects several
arctic and antarctic locations, e.g., America/Cambridge_Bay before
1920 and Antarctica/Troll before 2005.

Asia/Baku's 1992-09-27 transition from +04 (DST) to +04 (non-DST) was
at 03:00, not 23:00 the previous day.  (Thanks to Michael Deckers.)

2016-04-22T15:28:38+00:00

Changes affecting future time stamps

America/Caracas switches from -0430 to -04 on 2016-05-01 at 02:30.
(Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev for the heads-up.)

Asia/Magadan switches from +10 to +11 on 2016-04-24 at 02:00.
(Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev and Matt Johnson.)

New zone Asia/Tomsk, split off from Asia/Novosibirsk. It covers
Tomsk Oblast, Russia, which switches from +06 to +07 on 2016-05-29
at 02:00.  (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)

Changes affecting past time stamps

New zone Europe/Kirov, split off from Europe/Volgograd.  It covers
Kirov Oblast, Russia, which switched from +04/+05 to +03/+04 on
1989-03-26 at 02:00, roughly a year after Europe/Volgograd made
the same change.  (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)

Russia and nearby locations had daylight-saving transitions on
1992-03-29 at 02:00 and 1992-09-27 at 03:00, instead of on
1992-03-28 at 23:00 and 1992-09-26 at 23:00.  (Thanks to Stepan
Golosunov.)

Many corrections to historical time in Kazakhstan from 1991
through 2005.  (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)  Replace Kazakhstan's
invented time zone abbreviations with numeric abbreviations.

tzdata: update to 2016c

2016-03-26T22:49:36+00:00

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.
(Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)

Changes to commentary
Several updates and URLs for historical and proposed Russian changes.

tzdata: update to 2016b

2016-03-20T22:58:00+00:00

updated SRC_URI to http as it seems more stable.

Changes affecting future time stamps

     New zones Europe/Astrakhan and Europe/Ulyanovsk for Astrakhan and
     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
     and local time.  Also, Asia/Sakhalin moves from +10 to +11 on 2016-03-27
     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.
     (Thanks to Hannah Kreitem.) Guess future transitions will be March's last
     Saturday at 01:00, not March's last Friday at 24:00.

Changes affecting past time stamps

     Europe/Chisinau observed DST during 1990, and switched from +04 to
     +03 at 1990-05-06 02:00, instead of switching from +03 to +02.
     (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)

     1991 abbreviations in Europe/Samara should be SAMT/SAMST, not
     KUYT/KUYST.  (Thanks to Stepan Golosunov.)

2016-01-29T18:14:56+00:00

Changed LIC_CHKSUM_FILES to a new LICENSE  file.
Add BSD-3-clause to licenses

Changes affecting future time stamps

America/Cayman will not observe daylight saving this year after all.
Revert our guess that it would.  (Thanks to Matt Johnson.)

Asia/Chita switches from +0800 to +0900 on 2016-03-27 at 02:00.
(Thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev.)

Asia/Tehran now has DST predictions for the year 2038 and later,
to be March 21 00:00 to September 21 00:00.  This is likely better
than predicting no DST, albeit off by a day every now and then.

Changes affecting past and future time stamps

America/Metlakatla switched from PST all year to AKST/AKDT on
2015-11-01 at 02:00.  (Thanks to Steffen Thorsen.)

America/Santa_Isabel has been removed, and replaced with a
backward compatibility link to America/Tijuana.  Its contents were
apparently based on a misreading of Mexican legislation.

Changes affecting past time stamps
Asia/Karachi's two transition times in 2002 were off by a minute.
(Thanks to Matt Johnson.)

tzdata: Make /etc/timezone optional

2016-01-11T23:23:16+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.

tzdata: reinstate changes reverted in 2014c upgrade

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).
