Hi! ..
In the last few years, the maintainer of the Iana TZ Data project has diverged somewhat from the consensus of the community, and degraded some data by no longer having an entry for each country and merged timezones where data does not differ since 1970. (Removing transitions from these regions where data **does** differ before 1970, even if these were available). ..
Comments?This article [1] mentions that tzdata can be built in a way to include the "merged away" data: It is possible to build tzdata with PACKRATDATA=backzone if historic pre-1970 data is needed. Would this be an option, too? [1] https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2022/01/28/tzdata-time-zone-database-rhel-2021-update -- Regards, Mike
