* Makefile: Let the user override AR, and build libtz.a before
installing it, as suggested by Michael Forney in
<https://github.com/eggert/tz/pull/3>. Also, let the user
override RANLIB. Modernize a bit by assuming POSIX.2-1992 or
later; this is safe nowadays and simplifies the libtz.a business.
And treat 'leapseconds' more like we used to, since it's
machine-independent a 'make clean' doesn't need to remove it.
(TZLIB): Remove.
(AR, RANLIB): New macros.
(TABDATA): Add leapseconds, so that 'make' builds it by default.
(DATA): Remove leapseconds, since $(TABDATA) now has it.
(all): Depend on libtz.a, not $(LIBOBJS).
(install): Install libtz.a using 'cp', like other files.
Also invoke $(RANLIB) on it, after installing.
Do not assume that TZDIR is not overridden.
(install, INSTALL, check_time_t_alternatives): Use 'mkdir -p', as
it's safe to assume nowadays (standardized in POSIX.2-1992).
(install, INSTALL): Prefer 'cp -f' to 'rm' followed by 'cp', as
it's safe to assume 'cp -f' nowadays (also standardized in POSIX.2-1992).
(libtz.a): Rename from $(DESTDIR)$(TZLIB), since we now build it here.
Use $(AR) rather than ar.
Use $(RANLIB) rather than trying to guess it.
(clean_misc): Do not remove 'leapseconds', as it's machine-independent.
(maintainer-clean): Remove 'leapseconds' here instead.
(clean, check_public): Standardize on 'rm -fr' rather than 'rm -f -r';
formerly the makefile was inconsistent.
(set-timestamps.out): Don't ignore failurs of the actual touch command.
* zic.c (outzone): Restore diagnostic that was inadvertently
suppressed by the 2013-09-08 change to the 400-years-hack.
This doesn't affect zic's binary output; it affects only the
diagnostics generated by 'zic -v'. The problem evinced itself
with Asia/Tehran, which currently should generate a diagnostic,
but doesn't without this patch.
* NEWS: Document the above.
MinGW problem reported by Theo Veenker in
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2013-September/020378.html>.
The patched code should work even on POSIXish hosts
where 'link' and 'symlink' fail for whatever reason,
e.g., if the destination file system is VFAT.
Also, the patch fixes some bugs when symlinks are used.
* Makefile (CFLAGS): Mention HAVE_LINK in the comment.
(TZDSRCS): Add asctime.o, since MinGW lacks asctime.
(TZDOBJS): Add asctime.c.
* private.h (HAVE_LINK): Default to 1.
* zic.c (link) [!HAVE_LINK]: New macro.
(symlink) [!HAVE_SYMLINK]: New macro.
(dolink): Fix some bugs when 'link' fails but 'symlink' succeeds.
Fall back on copying when both fail.
* NEWS: Document the above.
Problem with leapseconds reported by Matt Burgess in
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2013-September/020379.html>
with a followup by Ian Abbott in
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2013-September/020383.html>.
* Makefile (MANTXTS): New macro.
(maintainer-clean): Use it.
(DOCS): Add it.
(DATA): Add 'leapseconds'.
(LEAP_DEPS): New macro.
(leapseconds): Use it.
(public): Don't depend on set-timestamps; each tarball does that
individually now, to allow for more parallelization.
(date.1.txt, newctime.3.txt, newstrftime.3.txt, newtzset.3.txt)
(time2posix.3.txt, tzfile.5.txt, tzselect.8.txt, zdump.8.txt)
(zic.8.txt): Depend on the corresponding non-.txt file.
$(MANTXTS): New rule.
(set-timestamps.out): Rename from set-timestamps, and make it a file,
so that it has its own timestamp; this avoids useless rework.
Depend on $(ENCHILADA) and ignore files under Git that are not
also listed in $(ENCHILADA). Set the timestamp of 'leapseconds'
and each $(MANTXTS) to be the maximum of its dependencies, to avoid
timestamp churn in future tarballs. Prefer touch -m, as we don't
care about access time here.
(tzcode$(VERSION).tar.gz, tzdata$(VERSION).tar.gz):
Depend on set-timestamps.out rather than the individual files,
so timestamps are set before creating the tarballs even when
make is parallelized.
(tzcode$(VERSION).tar.gz): Don't mention *.[1-8].txt explicitly,
since we now get $(MANTXTS) via $(DOCS).
* NEWS: Document the above.
* Makefile (COMMON): Move README here ...
(DOCS): ... from here, as it talks about the public-domain status
of the files, and this should be in both tarballs.
* README: Add intro. Mention public-domain status of files.
Remove and reorganize some obsolete text, e.g., move 1989 release
info from here to NEWS's tail.
* NEWS: Document the above.
Reported by Elliott Hughes in
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2013-September/020376.html>.
* localtime.c (timezone) [USG_COMPAT]:
(altzone) [ALTZONE]: Now long, not time_t.
* strftime.c (_fmt): Use long, not int, to store timezone.
* NEWS: Document this.
* Makefile (set-timestamps): Use git's tformat rather than format,
to port to strict POSIX hosts where `` output in shell scripts
cannot end in a non-newline. Use git diff --quiet rather than git
diff --name-only, as it's simpler. Use touch -c for safety, and
-m to avoid setting last-access time, which we don't care about.
Diagnose files that don't match repository.
* NEWS: Document this.
We don't know of any clients where this makes a difference, but it
is a more-conservative change, as in theory older clients could
reject version-3 format files merely because of the version number.
(ZIC_VERSION_PRE_2013): New macro.
(writezone): New arg 'version'. All callers changed.
(outzone): Output version-2 format files unless the capabilities
of version 3 are used.
Further testing found that it was incompatible with Ubuntu 12.04 glibc
so this feature requires redesign and more testing.
* Makefile (ZFLAGS): Remove comment about name and version info.
Make it an empty var instead.
* tzfile.5, tzfile.h: Remove description of meta-information.
* zic.8: Remove options -n and -o.
* zic.c: Don't include <stddef.h>.
(genoption, genoptions, genname, addgenoption, writevalue): Remove.
(usage, main, writezone): Remove support for -n and -o.
This was experimental, and it appears that the tzwinnow
approach will be better. We need to cut a new stable
release soon, and the -t option might make it harder to
integrate tzwinnow later, so let's omit -t for now.
* .gitignore: Remove time.tab.
* Makefile (ZONETABTYPE): Remove. All uses removed.
(time.tab): Remove. All uses removed.
* Theory: Omit discussion of time.tab.
* zone-time.awk: Remove.
* tzselect.8: Omit -t and time.tab.
* tzselect.ksh (ZONETABTYPE): Remove. All uses removed.
Remove -t ZONETABTYPE option.
* zone.tab: Restore first comment line, since there's no longer
a need to distinguish this file from time.tab.
* tzfile.5: Be a bit more careful about wording for integers.
Use binary terminators for the byte strings, not newlines.
Add a size field. Terminate by another NUL. Mention where
future extensions are expected to go.
* zic.c (writezone): Implement this.
(addgenoption): Omit namelen check; no longer needed.
(writevalue): Remove.
* Makefile (ZFLAGS): Add a comment about how to enable meta-info.
* tzfile.5: Describe meta-information.
* zic.8: Document new options -n and -o, which cause zic to
generate meta-info.
* zic.c: Include <stddef.h>, for ptrdiff_t.
(genoption, genoptions, genname): New static vars.
(usage): Summarize new options.
(addgenoption, writevalue): New function.
(main, writezone): Add support for new options.

* australasia (Fiji): Tweak spring-forward transitions to match
timeanddate.com's predictions.
* newtzset.3: Adjust Fiji example to match updated predictions.
Reword examples so that the English descriptions are more
consistent and are roughly in the same order as the TZ string
contents.
* northamerica (America/Cayman, America/Jamaica, America/Grand_Turk):
Change KMT from -5:07:12 to -5:07:11 (should be -5:07:10.41).
* zone.tab: Fine-tune geographical coordinates to match -5:07:10.41.
I chose the latitude to match the General Post Office, Kingston,
in the city center according to Google Maps.
Derived from Zefram's patch mentioned in
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2013-July/019470.html>.
With the current tz data, this affects only the Asia/Tehran file,
and it doesn't affect zdump output.
(YEAR_BY_YEAR_ZONE): New constant.
(stringzone): Return it when applicable.
(outzone): Search through a couple of extra years when extending.
Extend when we ran past 2037 in the data, too.
Also, improve the documentation and diagnostics in this area.
Suggested by Arthur David Olson in
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2013-September/020064.html>.
* tzfile.5, tzfile.h: Bump tzfile format to version 3.
* zic.8: Document -v better.
* zic.c (ZIC_VERSION): Bump from '2' to '3'.
(stringrule, stringzone, outzone): Report compatibility issues
more carefully, mentioning client dates.
Since we assume C89 now, it's safe to use vfprintf.
(verror): New function, with the old implementation of 'error'
but with a va_list API.
(error, warning): Use it.
(associate, gethms): Pass explicit %s to avoid GCC warning about
possibly unsafe formats.
(inzone, outzone, newabbr): Simplify by using the new error or
warning functions, avoiding the need to allocate and free memory.
* private.h (ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT): New macro.
Problem reported by Zefram in
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2013-September/020059.html>.
* localtime.c (tzparse): Elide simultaneous entries out of and
into DST if DST goes for an hour more than a year (actually, for
more than the DST offset more than a year). Since this
optimization can elide all entries, avoid looping forever looking
for entries that will never arrive. While we're at it, fix
another portability bug where the code assumed wraparound on
signed integer overflow.
* newtzset.3, tzfile.5: Mention that as an extension to POSIX,
if DST covers the entire year plus the DST offset, it's assumed to
be in effect all year. Give an example.
* zic.c (stringrule): Omit the "J" in January and February,
as this can save a byte or two in the output.
(rule_cmp): New function.
(stringzone): Do a better job of constructing the standard-time
abbreviation when there is perpetual DST. Defer to the new
stringrule to construct the times for perpetual DST.
Fix bug noted by Zefram, which caused a stray hour of standard
time to be inserted in an otherwise perpetual DST.
Previously, this code generated "WARST4WARST,J1/0,J365/24"
for the San Luis example; now it generates "WART4WARST,0/0,J365/25".
This implements a suggestion by Arthur David Olson.
Without this change, zic -v diagnoses problems with several zones
where it cannot compute a POSIX-equivalent TZ setting for time
stamps past 2038, which means these time stamps may be mishandled.
This entails a minor change to the binary tz file format, to allow
a minor extension to the POSIX TZ setting in the binary file,
instead of requiring a pure POSIX TZ setting. The zones fixed by
this change are America/Godthab, America/Santiago, Antarctica/Palmer,
Asia/Gaza, Asia/Hebron, Asia/Jerusalem, Pacific/Easter, and
Pacific/Fiji. The only zone that remains unfixed is
Asia/Tehran, which schedules clock transitions via the
Iranian calendar, something that even the extended TZ
setting cannot represent.
* localtime.c (getrule): Allow transition times to be signed.
* newtzset.3: Describe the extensions to POSIX TZ strings.
Some of these extensions (e.g., hours == 26) were already
implemented but were not documented. Give examples.
* tzfile.5: Document the relaxed restriction on the stored TZ
string; its hours component can be in the range -167..167 rather
than the POSIX-required 0..24. Refer to newtzset(5).
* zic.c (stringoffset): Allow hours to go up to 167.
(stringrule): Be willing to generate hours in the range -167
through 167.
* southamerica (SanLuis): Move October 2009 transition from here ...
(America/Argentina/San_Luis): ... to here. This causes San Luis
to not appear to be on perpetual DST.
In several places the code and documentation incorrectly used
"UTC" to describe time stamps that might precede the introduction
of UTC and for which UTC is therefore undefined. Change these
uses to "UT", as that's the correct term when talking about these
time stamps. Problem reported by Steve Allen in
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2013-September/019907.html>.
The major compatibility issue here is with 'zdump -v'; it'll now
output "UT" instead of the possibly-incorrect "UTC".
Many files change in minor ways in the commentary.
* zdump.c (show):
* zic.c (inzsub, addtype):
In output, say "UT" rather than "UTC", since the time stamp we're
talking about might precede the introduction of UTC.
These come from POSIX or similar platforms, or from the standard
'zic' implementation, but never got written down anywhere.
* Theory: Document other POSIX-inspired restrictions on names.
* zic.8 (DESCRIPTION): Document that zic's behavior is unspecified
if some names are duplicates. Sometimes it complains, sometimes not.
* northamerica (America/Anguilla, America/Dominica, America/Grenada)
(America/Guadeloupe, America/Montserrat, America/St_Kitts)
(America/St_Lucia, America/St_Vincent, America/Tortola)
(America/St_Thomas):
Link to America/Port_of_Spain instead of having a separate zone
that differs only in LMT. Each LMT entry is just a placeholder for
unavailable info, and by itself does not justify a separate zone.
Using just one zone simplifies maintenance, makes the runtime
a bit smaller, and can help simplify user selection of zones.
* southamerica (America/Aruba): Likewise, for America/Curacao.
* backward (America/Virgin):
* northamerica (America/St_Barthelemy, America/Marigot):
Adjust to the other changes, by not linking to a link.
This should allay concerns that the links would go away any time soon.
Suggested by Stephen Colebourne in

(Europe/Sarajevo, Europe/Skopje, Europe/Zagreb, Europe/Bratislava):
* northamerica (America/St_Barthelemy, America/Marigot):
* southamerica (America/Lower_Princes, America/Kralendijk):
Move here from 'backward'. This reverts a 2013-08-09 change.
Other tz file readers had problems with the new pre1970 file, so
remove it and related changes. To recover the pre-1970 data,
instead change pre-1970 Zone entries in other files back to what
they were. Perhaps we'll try to find a better way someday.
* .gitignore: Remove back-pre1970.
* Makefile (BACKWARD): Remove. All uses changed back to 'backward'.
(AWK_SCRIPTS): Remove back-pre1970.awk.
(back-pre1970): Remove.
(clean_misc): Don't rm back-pre1970.
(check_public): Remove special case for pre1970.
* back-pre1970.awk, pre1970: Remove.
* backward (America/Anguilla, America/Antigua, America/Aruba)
(America/Atikokan, America/Blanc-Sablon, America/Cayman)
(America/Creston, America/Curacao, America/Dominica, America/Grenada)

(America/Nassau, America/Port_of_Spain, America/St_Kitts)
(America/St_Lucia, America/St_Thomas, America/St_Vincent)
(America/Tortola): Remove, as these are zones again.
(America/Coral_Harbour, America/Kralendijk, America/Lower_Princes)
(America/Marigot, America/St_Barthelemy, America/Virgin):
Revert to previous links.

(America/St_Kitts, America/St_Lucia, America/St_Vincent)
(America/Tortola, America/St_Thomas):
* southamerica (America/Aruba, America/Curacao, America/Port_of_Spain):
Restore these rules and zones.
* .gitignore: Add back-pre1970.
This lets us preserve information about pre-1970 time stamps when
we change a Zone to a Link to another zone whose time stamps agree
after 1970. This should address concerns about some recent
changes that removed this information. This implementation is a
stripped-down version of a suggestion by Andrew Main (Zefram) in
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2013-August/019615.html> and
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2013-August/019639.html> to
allow filtering tz data by date range. Unlike Zefram's
suggestion, this implementation supports only two date ranges,
namely 1970 on, using 'make BACKWARD=backward'; and all dates,
using 'make BACKWARD="pre1970 back-pre1970"'. At some point I'd
like to improve it to support arbitrary date ranges, but at least
we've now restored the data whose loss was of some concern.
* .gitignore: Add back-pre1970.
* Makefile (BACKWARD): New macro.
(YDATA): Use it instead of 'backward'.
(AWK_SCRIPTS): New macro, with additional script back-pre1970.awk.
(MISC): Use it.
(back-pre1970): New rule.
(clean_misc): Clean back-pre1970. Also clean time.tab, while we're
at it.
(check_public): Don't require pre1970 to stand alone.
* pre1970, back-pre1970.awk: New files.
This is like the previous change, except it entails a change to zone.tab.
The America/Montreal entry was created only because we mistakenly
thought that Montreal's and Toronto's post-1970 time stamps differed.
* backward, northamerica (America/Montreal):
Now a 'backward' link to America/Toronto.
* northamerica (Mont): Remove rules; no longer needed.
(America/Thunder_Bay): Refer to Toronto rules, not Mont.
This doesn't change any time stamps.
* zone.tab (America/Montreal): Remove.
(America/Toronto): Say that it also covers most of Quebec.
This continues in the series of moving entries to 'backward' if
they exist only because of obsolete tz rules about country codes.
In this case, Zone entries are changed to Links; this doesn't
affect any post-1970 time stamps, and the pre-1970 time stamps
are out of scope and are often of dubious reliability.
* backward, northamerica, southamerica (America/Anguilla)
(America/Antigua, America/Aruba, America/Blanc-Sablon)
(America/Cayman, America/Curacao, America/Dominica)
(America/Grenada, America/Guadeloupe, America/Montserrat)
(America/Port_of_Spain, America/St_Kitts, America/St_Lucia)
(America/St_Thomas, America/St_Vincent, America/Tortola):
Now 'backward' links to America/Puerto_Rico.
(America/Atikokan): Now a 'backward' link to America/Panama.
(America/Creston): Now a 'backward' link to America/Phoenix.
(America/Nassau): Now a 'backward' link to America/Toronto.
* backward (America/Coral_Harbour, America/Kralendijk)
(America/Lower_Princes, America/Marigot, America/St_Barthelemy)
(America/Virgin): Adjust to avoid link-to-a-link.
This fixes the 2013-08-15 change so that 'make check' works again.
* backward (America/Shiprock): Move this link here....
* northamerica (America/Shiprock): ... to here.
* tzselect.ksh (LC_ALL): Don't set this, so that the user can
use the locale's decimal point in coordinates.
(convert_coord): Rename from cvt1. All callers changed.
Support more ISO 6709 forms.
* tzselect.8: Document -c better, including the new forms.
These let the user select TZ based on geographical coordinates.
Combining '-c COORD' with '-t time' better insulates the user from
issues of nationality.
* tzselect.8 (SYNOPSIS, OPTIONS): Document the new options.
* tzselect.ksh: Implement them, using the great-circle special
case of the Vicenty formula for distances on ellipsoids.
(LC_ALL): Set to C, since tzselect is English only. That way, we
treat decimal-points in -c option operands the same in all environments.
(usage): Document new options. Document existing ones better.
(output_distances): New variable.
(main): Don't assume SECSPERDAY <= INT_MAX here, since we try
not to assume that sort of thing elsewhere in this file.
Don't rely on undefined behavior in the weird case where
cuthitime < absolute_min_time + SECSPERDAY / 2.
This is a backwards-compatible way of transitioning to a less
politically-charged approach to choosing TZ values. A new time
zone table time.tab acts like zone.tab, except it omits TZ values
that are present only for political reasons. tzselect has a new
"-t zonetabtype" option that lets users select which time zone table
to use, and installers can select the default table. The zone.tab
file does not change, and the default tzselect table for now is
zone.tab. This avoids the backward-compatibility concerns
expressed on the tz mailing list; see, for example,
the discussion surrounding Derick Rethans's comments in
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2013-August/019544.html>
* .gitignore: Add time.tab.
* Makefile (ZONETABTYPE): New macro.
(TABDATA): Add time.tab.
(all): Depend on $(TABDATA).
(install): Do not depend on $(TABDATA), since $(DATA) includes it.
Install time.tab too.
(time.tab): New rule.
(tzselect.tab): Substitute ZONETABTYPE.
* zone-time.awk: New file.
* tzselect.8: Document new options, and --help and --version while
we're at it.
* tzselect.ksh (ZONETABTYPE): New var.
Implement -t ZONETABTYPE option.
Check that no extra operands are given.
* zone.tab: Change first comment line, to distinguish the two
tables better.
This unnecessary duplicate of America/Denver was confusing, as it
incorrectly implied that 'Mountain Time - Navajo' differed from
'Mountain Time' either now or in the past. Clarify this in a
better way, by mentioning in the Arizona entry that it doesn't
include Navajo.
On my platform (Ubuntu 13.04 x86-64, Xeon E3-1225 V2), this sped up
'zdump -V -c 2147483647,2147483648 America/Los_Angeles'
from 13.880 to 0.000 seconds user+system time.
(INTMAX_MAX): Define if the system doesn't.
(SECSPER400YEARS): New macro.
(SECSPER400YEARS_FITS): New constant.
(yeartot): Speed up by using division instead of
repeated subtraction.
* iso3166.tab, zone.tab: Make it clear that country codes aren't
necessarily for countries. Thanks to Derick Rethans for spotting this.
* zone.tab (Antarctica/McMurdo, Europe/Mariehamn, Europe/Sarajevo)
(America/St_Barthelemy, America/Kralendijk, Europe/Busingen)
(Europe/Guernsey, Europe/Zagreb, Europe/Isle_of_Man, Europe/Jersey)
(Europe/Podgorica, America/Marigot, Europe/Skopje, Europe/Ljubljana)
(Arctic/Longyearbyen, Europe/Bratislava, Europe/San_Marino)
(America/Lower_Princes, Europe/Vatican):
Undo recent changes, going back to the way these entries were done
in the last tz distribution. Only the Antarctica/South_Pole change
was retained.
* Makefile (TZDIR_BASENAME): New macro.
(TZDIR): Use it.
(other_two): Remove.
(right_posix, posix_right): Use a symbolic link if supported.
This saves about 2 megabytes' worth of installed files.
